How about a mini rose I picked up so I could have some flowers for winter.

This was marked down; so I got it. Now will have to learn all about orchids - is a very pretty bloom!

Very pretty Phalaenopsis Betsy! Now, if I were you, I would repot it now to your preferred orchid media, so the roots can have a chance to breathe. Most of the time, the containers are stuffed to the brim with sphagnum moss and it is slowly killing the roots.

Cape Cowslip (Lachenalia aloides)


Forest Lily (Veltheimia bracteata 'Lemon Flame')

My Clivia miniata 'Solomone Yellow' is starting to make its bloom spike and buds

Peach-colored Schlumbergera's turn to bloom:

Reddish Schlumbergera's lone bloom:

I have a bloom
I never have anything bloom this early , still 12 degrees outside with 5 inches of fresh snow

My bloom is a small hardy geranium I brought inside, because it is not hardy to my zone , never thought it would bloom inside, just trying to keep it till spring . Very surprised it has enough light it is in a north facing window.

That's very pretty Cinda!
Somehow the blooms looks like a cousin in features with my Pinguicula, minus the veination . My Pings are almost done now..been in bloom since Fall.

Still waiting for these three...indoor winter bloomshow fun!
Hoya shooting star


Wilsonara Hilda Plumtree Purple Wings..surprisingly active since Fall, this is a second spike:


Clivia miniata 'Solomone Yellow'

My salvia coccinea is blooming...paperwhites have been blooming all winter long...more narcissus have spikes.

My forcers (tulips and daffodils) will start to come out of their cold period before long.

Thank you
Interesting plant with a pretty bloom you have there, I have never heard of it before, but then I have noticed you have a lot of interesting plants.

Wilsonara Hilda Plumtree Purple Wings, opens up once more! Backside and frontside of petals are both nicely colorful



Editing to add this Day 2 photo..blooms more open now:

In between rains, Lewisia has started to bloom:

On my best day I couldn't get Lewisia to bloom. It's lovely.

You always have the neatest plants, Tarev. Very pretty.

Thanks Arlene and Karen

Arlene, it is really hard here too when our very hot and dry conditions return. I am now learning a lot that during our winters, it is at its happiest. But during Summer to early Fall..hands off in watering, and must be in shade here at that time, so it will not burn.

I think it's just that green thumb of yours, tarev.

Karen

The plants are just good to me sometimes!
