Garden Bloggers Bloom Day ~ January 2010

Find more blogger's blossoms at Carol's May Dreams Garden. She's the inventor of Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day.

Luscious Cyclamen

Every once in awhile someone will ask ~ if you're so into gardening why live so high up in the mountains?

My very first Cymbidium Orchid

I guess it's like a lot of things in life. It just happened. And, now that I'm here I'm not terribly interested in leaving. I love my mountains. The bright sunny skies, crisp fresh air. Living in the mountains makes winter fun.

Phaleanopsis Orchid (I fell in love with her polka dots.)

I suppose it would be harder on me if I lived in a normal house. But, this place has massive south-facing sunny windows that let me 'garden' all winter long.

Which is why I was so thrilled to discover that Carol's Garden Bloggers' Bloom Days allow indoor goodies. Because there's lots of little pretties smiling in my sunny window right now.

Snowy White Azaleas

Crazy Orange Kalanchoe

Over-achieving Edna, the Christmas Cactus I've owned since college. She began flowering in early November ~ showed off at least 100 blooms for Christmas and is now aiming to be my Valentine cactus as well!

Little help please? :)

And, then there's this sweet little hitchhiker ~ who sneaked indoors when I brought the house plants inside last autumn. A long, lanky vine with bright red buds. And, I haven't a clue. Do you?
