Flowers

 I've been working on cleaning up my folders of pictures from last year and came across these pictures of flowers that I forgot to edit.  With how cold and dead everything is right now, these bright colors fill me with excitement for spring to get here soon so I can get back to gardening.  I'm especially proud of these flowers because it was my first time growing flowers from seeds.  💛

Pretty Plants

 

It's been a bit since I last posted pictures of my plants.  I have so many that I'd call my favorites because their leaves are variegated and you never quite know what you'll get.  The sun was shining nicely in the window which also made some interesting patterns on the leaves.

First Signs of Spring

 These crocuses are always the first flowers in my yard to bloom each year.  Their bright colors excite my heart for the coming spring.

My beloved spoke and said to me,

    “Arise, my darling,

    my beautiful one, come with me.

 See! The winter is past;

    the rains are over and gone.

 Flowers appear on the earth;

    the season of singing has come,

the cooing of doves

    is heard in our land.

 The fig tree forms its early fruit;

    the blossoming vines spread their fragrance.

Arise, come, my darling;

    my beautiful one, come with me.”

-Song of Solomon 2:10-13

Love

The sun and unnaturally warm weather for February made me get the camera out and take some pictures around my house.  I love my philodendron brandi with it's heart-shaped leaves and glistening splatters of silver.  Kira looked so cozy on the couch that I had to include her.  💕

New Plants, Blooms, and More

It's been a long time since I last posted here.  I haven't taken too many pictures like this in a while.  I realized that I have gotten quite a lot of new plants since I last took pictures, so I wanted to get some good photos of the new ones as well as some of my other favorites.  I also am enjoying my orchids blooming right now.  They all love that I moved them to our bedroom earlier this year and immediately worked on putting out a flower spike for me.  I've been having fun propagating various plants to sell in a Facebook group I'm in.  I am not doing it to try to make a bunch of money, but it is a nice way to recoup some of the cost of buying more plants.  Haha!  I think most of the cuttings I got are ready to be potted up now, so that is my plan for this weekend.  I have cute little pots that I 3D print which act as cache pots to the clear liners with holes that I use.  I'm gonna give them a few weeks in soil to make sure they are gonna be okay and then I'll be selling them for a couple bucks each.
