It Bloomed!!!!!!!!!
Remember you sent me this?? ( sorry I forgot the name,, 1st one I've ever had )


It must have bloomed a couple of days ago and I didn't notice,,,,
I panicked today when I thought about it being out there UNcovered the last couple of nights of freezing temps! I went out to check it and it has blooms on it ,, In December,,
Now that it's getting colder in the day time and lower temps at night should I bring it in?? Put it in the garage ( <it's cold in there ) ..or in a window in the house??
~~ More blooms today.....

Cone flowers... I can't believe they survived the freeze only flower left in the tree ring that didn't freeze!


Tea rose..... Bright and Beautiful on a cold crisp December day,,

The first looks like an oxalis (shamrock) to me. In my zone 9 they do OK outside year round, Diane.

YESSSSSSSS That's It thanks!!!!!!

But does it freeze there Tina and will it come back in the spring here in 8a??

it is a very small start,,,, I don't want to lose it,,
Cindy I want it to get big like you say yours is, does yours bloom inside??

And BTW the rose smells Heavenly!

A freeze would kill it. I always bring mine inside in the fall. Put it back out in the spring. I don't have any purple! Mine is just green. I like it.

I've had heavy frost the last couple of night,, maybe it did okay because it was on the southside of the house close to the wall of house,,

Good I hadn't realized they bloomed Inside or was even an Inside Plant,, They always looked like HUGE Clover to me,, I never appreciated them Until Dodge sent me a start,, Now I really Like it!
