GARDEN BLOGGERS BLOOMDAY-DEC.15

Happy GARDEN BLOGGERS' BLOOM DAY
From Sweet Schnauzer JOJO

Cityscape with
Three Real live mini-Christmas Trees

Every window facing south and west in the Sweet Garden Chicago is filled with plants ( coleus )
BTW I handpainted the windows 'cause I despise curtains

This is my first indoor garden. I know, it's hard to believe . I've got some 'splaining ' to do. Houses in Chicago are SO close together it's difficult to get in sufficient light to grow flowering plants. Plus, my century old home has a huge front porch and a low overhanging roof that adds to the low light.

Last year we did a whole house remodelling that let in a lot more light in the western back of our house. So that area in the dining room which gets good afternoon sun has become my new garden.

In addition to the above I have :

A Pink Peacelily with glossy foilage

Good old Spidey Man

Would you believe my geranium is still blooming ?

A plant stand which contains : Ponytail palm, two lucky bamboos, aloe vera and
thanks to Carol again -I'm not ashamed to say - a fake Orchid ! Come'on now you couldn't tell, could you ?

A deep purple Calla Lily

My Bird Tree

A gardenia decorated with berries.

Not a bad beginning, eh ?

A big THANK YOU to Carol at Maydreamsgardens not only for creating Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day, but for inspiring us outdoor gardeners to continue it indoors.
