Garden Bloggers Bloom Day - February 2016

I thought about not making a Bloom Day post this month. Right now I have the same things blooming that were blooming last month. So I decided to try to photograph my continuing orchids in a different way and happily there are a couple other things blooming too. Such as...
 This witch hazel Diane. She is blooming up a storm despite the cold and snow. I might have some snowdrops blooming too but they are under snow right now.
 This crazy little Thanksgiving cactus is once again blooming. It had it's most buds and blooms when I first brought it inside this fall. Then it has bloomed twice more. Not so many but it always puts a smile on my face to look over at this little plant and see a huge floresent bloom popped open.
 This white with pink polkeh dotted bloom orchid is a tiny plant. I bought it last year to decorate a fairy garden I made. The fairy garden proved to be too big to keep on display in my home so I dismantled it and tucked this small orchid into the crotch of this limb that I have mounted the Staghorn fern onto. I hope they all three take hold of this limb.
 My last new bloom is this orchid that has a yellow throat. The white and yellow of this orchid seem so pure. I couldn't quite capture it as I would have liked to. There are so many blooms on this orchid. Twenty one blooms and even more buds, but who is counting.  I should have taken an overall shot.
 This orchid was blooming last month. It has a big sturdy stem and healthy plant but only three blooms. They are quite striking though so I forgive it for having so few blooms.
 The last orchid is the orchid that has been blooming the longest. It started blooming before I brought it in for the season. It has continued to bloom. I am seeing that the color of the flowers are beginning to fade.
The last plant blooming is one of my favorites. It blooms so prolifically without much encouragement. The Black Truffles Begonia.
So if you are tired of looking at the same ole blooms or you live in an area that doesn't have any blooms at this time of year head over to Carol's May Dreams Gardens blog to see blooms from all over.
You can also share your blooms with us. I would love to see them.

     All I can say it is difficult to deal with change. This new Blogger format is not as user friendly in my opinion. I guess I will get us...
