I must say that I am quite pleased to report a I have a couple of blooms for January Garden Bloggers Bloom Day.The Kalanchoe that I repotted right before I brought it in for the winter is blooming nicely. The poor dear was broken in half with the repotting process. Kalanchoe's are a brittle lot but as tough as they are beautiful when blooming.
The drunken sailors decided to show up in fulluniform. Despite being all wapperjawed the one in the green bulb vase has a nice root system and has actually been blooming for some time.
The rest of the crew in the potting medium are trying their best. One of them has a nice bud about to burst into bloom. The other two are just green and that isn't bad this time of year. Maybe they just need a little more time and a little more sunshine.
I am sure that they all need more light. The one in the bulb vase was growing well with me turning it every day. Then we went away for a few days and it grew like a weed and didn't get turned. So it has a permanent list starboard.
Now I don't know if I can count this as a bloom but one of my palms has a growth that has little balls on it. Seems like I have seen this before but I am not sure. There are several stalks with these little balls. I don't remember ever seeing an actual bloom come of this but it must be what it is. Does anyone that knows about palms have an opinion??
I will leave you with this close up of the bloom on the narcissis in the bulb vase. Happy blooming to you all.
