Garden Bloggers Bloom Day - January 2014

This winter has been such a harsh winter so far. Nothing was predictible about this since no one warned us about a Polar Vortex taking over our area for a week or so. Happily inside the weather is not so bad.
There is an orchid in bloom. Please disregard the cobwebs. I do.

There is also a begonia blooming it's little head off.  Don't you love winter sun? 

If you need a shot of blooming photos head over to Carol's blog and have a peek at blooms from around the world. It is summer someplace. 

Happy Garden Bloggers Bloom day.

It's beginning to look a lot like...Fall?? So it seems here. The spiders are beginning to build their webs in earnest. I love the way this one looks like gossamer with dew on it and the rainbow of color that slides across one side. We have had so much rain that the old table top in the garden is sprouting fungus. It has three types on it. This one is the most colorful.

I just love the bloom of this begonia.

I really grow these big leaved begonias for their interesting shapes and markings. Sometimes I am gifted with some blooms.

This planter has turned out quite pretty. With the begonia, persian shield and petunias together.

The window box is full now too. The caladiums are growing like crazy. I love the way they fill up the kitchen window. When you look at them from inside they look like stained glass.

I hope you all have a great week.
