Such a wonderful selection of winter blooms. I recognise the Justicia, what we call Jacobinia; the Russelia and the Malvaviscus. All these grow in my garden as well and they're blooming right now. Your Poinsettia is just beautiful too!
Yes you do have some color around you. Such a huge difference just one zone away.
So nice to see a garden in bloom! Thanks for the cheer.
Wow! So many flowers and berries growing and blooming in your garden! Lovely mosaics!
Lots of hot blooms in your garden. I just posted on those berries in my previous post.
Many of these flowers are blooming in my garden too. I admire your fruit trees. Mine are all taking it easy and relaxing.
No bloom here inside or outside (too much snow), but I enjoyed yours.
My malvaviscus finally stopped blooming and decided to rest after our latest freeze. I see yours is still going strong. You have a lovely collection of January blooms.
aloha,
loves of color from your garden today, isn't the tropics great to be in today :)
We used to visit in-laws in Florida in January or February. It was always a terrific boost after a few months of cold and snow, and spring followed quickly when we returned home. My in-laws moved north, so we no longer see Florida flowers in winter. Thanks for the tease!
Oh, I can only dream of such colour outdoors, but I have lots going on indoors...feeling warmer, just looking at yours, though.
Hi Jim, i have an Ardisia on my office window sill, a birthday present to me with lots of berries. Then i just water it or prune the apical shoot to enhance sideshoots. However, it did not flower at all in 2 yrs. I thought maybe it just flower in cold temps, so ours maybe allowed to flower in cold areas and brought down to the lowlands to sell. I've read in some US blogs that they are a bit invasive when planted on the ground. I also have some seedlings already from the first berries.
Wonderful selection of blooms Jim! Brightens up a gloomy day here!
I'm jealous! Such beautiful colors. All I get to see this time of year are dead trees and white snow. Thanks for giving me something to look forward to!
