Wishing everyone health and happiness in the new year.

Happy New Year Bob, and thanks for starting the 2016 thread.

Here are some camellia blooms from my garden today.

Mathotiana


Nuccio's Pearl



Jury's Yellow



Spellbound

Those are beautiful
May I ask how long do the blooms last?
We were visiting Florida over Christmas and I was going to photograph some blooms and noticed perfectly good looking blooms all over the ground. They seem to have fallen off in mid bloom?

Look what I spotted as we were leaving the house today! It may be Harvest of Memories but I'm not sure how true the color is in January! More buds yet to open.

Beautiful Arlene! My Harvest of Memories is also still blooming.

Thanks Cinda, the blooms on the camellias last for several days. Nuccio's Bella Rosa has been blooming since December 5th. Here's a pic from this week.

Tons of blooms on that one, Annette!

Beautiful flowers Annette , wish they grew in this area.

Thanks Arlene and Bob!

This is the best year that I've ever had for camellia blooms. It's been unseasonably warm and wet. Last year many of the buds froze, and the plants didn't bloom well.

Thanks for the new thread.
Nuttin happnin here.

Blooming in January. Gelsemium sempervirens, Magnolia stellata, and Chaenomeles lagenaria.


Happy New Year, everyone!

Nice blooms, Clint. I need to go out and take some photos. I couldn't figure out what Chaenomeles lagenaria was, so I looked it up and see that it's flowering quince. I've under the weather and stuck indoors for a few days. That wasn't much of a problem, as it rained most of the time. Yesterday was the first dry day and now it's turning colder with possible frost on Monday. Any early blooms will be ruined.

Colorful beautiful blooms Clint! These are three plants that I've never heard of.

The Gelsemium sempervirens, Carolina Jessamine covering my mailbox is blooming also. But, I didn't get that far with the camera. I started feeling weak again, so it was time to come back in. I took some seed pods off my confederate rose. This is the 1st time that they've ever matured on the plants, as they are usually overtaken by frost/freeze. I need to open them up to make sure there are still some viable seeds in them. The birds may have already cleaned them out.

Looking forward to all the blooms this year.

Too Cold (25deg.) to have blooms outside but my blue ginger is blooming inside

Just beautiful

Mine has yet to bloom. Maybe it's because I keep taking cuttings.

These ones have been blooming indoors/outdoors since Dec while I was away and thankfully holding their blooms into January:
Wilsonara Hilda Plumtree 'Purple Wings'


A first time bloom for me, Bc. Little Mermaid 'Janet'


Miltassia Shelob Tolkien, happy to see it back..it has been sulking for over a year


I was finally catching up cleaning outdoors yesterday, and I saw Narcissus paperwhite 'Ziva' is happily in bloom


Upstairs by our south facing window, a nice suprise, Euphorbia milii is in bloom


Oncidium Sharry Baby - this one has been in bloom since Thanksgiving, and is still holding some blooms up to now..love it! I usually get to have them for a month, nice to see it go longer this time around

So cheerful and so beautiful!

Beautiful blooms tarev!


Here are some blooms from the garden today.





Jury's Yellow finally has a yellow hue. This is the best the blooms have ever looked.



Some new additions from one of our local nurseries today.

Taylor's Perfection- I already have one of these planted in my back garden, but I was enticed to get this one, due to the size and the blooms.


Kramer's Beauty- I can't wait until this one matures in the garden.
