Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day ~ November, 2011

This Garden Blogger's Day is all about annuals! Well, at least the lucky two that I've turned into "perennials."  As in... I wonder just how long I can encourage you to bloom?
Call me a softie but I just couldn't bear to let them freeze to death. Winter came early this year.
They're as delighted as me to be sitting indoors, comfy and cozy.

Edna, the Christmas Cactus that I've had since college (nearly ancient, now) is working 24/7 on her version of a holiday greeting.

Kids these days... always trying to one up the elders.

This is Lucy, a younger Christmas Cactus I received as a gift a couple years ago. The poor kid is clearly possessed. Timing her blossoms for Halloween.
Perhaps inspired by the snow, I have one re-blooming butterfly orchid. (Plus, a whole bunch more on the way.)
And, that's about it. A sorry state of affairs that I hope will improve very soon. This was 'compost year' when every happy houseplant that wasn't doing a good enough job got the axe.
Pay a visit to Carol @ May Dream Gardens.
She's the gracious host of this monthly meme, Garden Blogger's Bloom Day.
From her website you can connect with all sorts of talented gardeners ~ many of whom are living in kinder climates than me.
Now who's up for some snowshoeing??
