My icky winter weather has had me down-in-the-dumps lately. But today was super gorgeous! Sunshine and temps feeling like the 60s (out of the wind and in the sun). And a few little blooms sure help cheer one up! Baby Sunrose ( photo / image / picture from cherylad's Garden ) There are about 10 little blooms and they haven't had any protection from the elements. Begonia and Supertunia ( photo / image / picture from cherylad's Garden ) These are in the corner of the front porch tucked away from the wind, but I have still been covering them when it gets down to freezing. Kalanchoe ( photo / image / picture from cherylad's Garden ) This also gets covered during freezes. Primrose Jasmine ( photo / image / picture from cherylad's Garden ) This is the only bloom on it right now, but I do see several little buds. Queen's Tears ( photo / image / picture from cherylad's Garden ) This one is tucked away from the wind, but not covered up. I believe this will be it's last burst of color.
Flowers in the dead of winter are always a pick me up. Hmmmm....I have some flowers I have not posted.....off to find them. Jerry
I wish I could show you something flowering here at the moment but sadly there's nothing. Thankyou for all your beautiful blooms Cheryl as they help me through the winter months.
I really want to live where it is warmer in the winter than here. Thanks for sharing the flowers with us! We have snow all around, but I do see some buds coming on the hibiscus out in the greenhouse.
We had some sunshine here today, too. Those gray drizzly days have had us feeling down,too. Sniffle and sneezes seem to be the order of the day lately. I don't have any flowers though. Thanks Cheryl. dooley
Dooley... I started sneezing just as it was getting too cool to stay outside. And not just a couple little lady-like sneezes. I'm talking about blowing holes in your handkerchief kind of sneezes. Any type of cold or sinus meds knock me out. So I've waited until now to take some and it's off to bed for me. Great way to end my holiday vacation, huh? Wait.. perhaps I am really allergic to my job????
These blooms are just what I needed to see this morning ... I've seen nothing but white snow since Christmas! Thanks for sharing
Pretty blooms Cheryl! Your icky winter weather must not be as icky as my icky winter weather.Here, all is blanketed with snow, and not a bloom in sight...
Thanks for the kind words everyone. It really does help the soul to see a few little flowers. Before you know it, we'll all have lots of blooms again.
How delightful to see the all those blooming plants of yours. It gives one a feeling of cheerfulness. I have nothing at all in bloom yet, although I see that the crocuses and snowbells are on the way, out in front of the bee hives. Very nice posting, Cheryl.
