GARDEN BLOGGERS' BLOOM DAY


   May Flowers by Moi

Here we are in the first GBBD of the new year 2011.    Naturally the only thing still in bloom at Sweet Garden Chicago is my Christmas poinsetta , some paper whites and the flowers I paint.

But I have a lot of green -rosemary, cacti, ponytail palm and geraniums.  The geraniums always look sickly but when I put them out in the Spring they perk up real fast so I always save them in the Fall.  Coleus is another wonderful annual that makes a good houseplant but I was too late in taking my clippings in this past season.
 
No blooms but lotsa green



My new grow light keeps the pointsetta blooming and the rosemary fresh.

While in Carolina for Christmas I shall never forget the scene - beautiful velvety faces of pansies peeping up at me from their white blanket of snow.

 Happy Bloom Day and don't forget to visit Carol over at May Dreams Gardens who created this wonderful occasion.
