I didn’t have much time to run around the garden and take pictures this morning (plus it was just about to rain), but I managed to snap a shot of this lovely bloom on the way to my car.

Not a heck of a lot blooming in Wisconsin in January, but this lipstick vine in our sun room has been putting out a fair bit of color lately. This isn’t the only blooming plant in the house right now, but it was the only one worth photographing. Now head on over to May Dreams Gardens, the home of Garden Bloggers’ Bloom Day. There you can find bloom day submissions from all over the country and many places outside the country, too!

If I had more time, I would dabble in the artsy, but now I barely have time to secure the...

Today was a good Bloom Day. The weather was beautiful, and we actually had a few different blooms. Spring might just finally be here to stay. Noel and Judy are leaving tomorrow for the Cincinnati Flower Show , so we all spent a lot of time outside today while loading the van and getting other tasks done. These Scillas are planted around the base of the hickory tree by our back door. They keep creeping farther into the lawn each year, but nobody minds. That part of...

Finally got our first outside blooms today! Dad took this pic of a cluster of snowdrops that came up on the west side of the house. Comments (Comment Moderation is enabled.
