Meanwhile... Indoors...

A peek at photos I've just taken.

It's windy today.  I should be out there raking... 

but my neighbor would probably be on the receiving end of a LOT of leaves!

And yes.  The "Christmas Cactus."

Enjoy your day!

Amaryllis - tips and hints from Deb

(I don't know the name of this amaryllis, but it finally bloomed for me last April!)

If you'd like great information
about starting an amaryllis bulb,

head over to visit Deb's blog entitled Garden Author!


This is the link to her most recent post about amaryllis bulbs.

I've picked up a few hints myself!

Enjoy
(Definitely not a "shady" topic.)

Green Thumb Sunday

I'm not feeling as though my thumb is green these days... I've been so excited about the growth of my 9 large amaryllis bulbs. However, only one (1!) is going to blossom. At least for the moment.

Did I do something wrong? Should I NOT have watered the bulbs with anything besides plain water? I admit to adding fertilizer... The rest of the bulbs are growing strapping, strong, green leaves. Hmmm. Oh, well. There's always another year.

In the meantime, I Knew we were going to have a snowfall. They'd predicted over a couple days' time, last week. So on Friday, I finally didn't want to wait any longer and brought in a bunch of daffodils that were budded and nearly ready to open. This is what I found Saturday night!

At 1:45 P.M. Saturday afternoon, it began to snow.
(Can you tell I'd raked a lot last week?)
At 2:45 P.M., it looked like this.
At 4:10 P.M., it looked like this.
It stopped snowing shortly afterwards. In all, we may have received
between two and three inches of snowfall.
This morning I took this picture for your enjoyment!
Do you see all the little black specks? Click on the photo.
Those are some of my plant id markers!
(I do need to make just a few more,
for those plants that were added
last Fall.)
ha!
Here are those daffodils, as photographed this afternoon.
A bit of a close-up.
Getting personal.

Happy Green Thumb Sunday!

Our snowfall is already beginning to melt. If that's the last of it, I'm looking for some Real Greening very shortly! :-)

Hope you enjoyed a great day!!

Wordless Wednesday (almost!)

Ladies In Waiting

Did you notice anything in the photo immediately above these words?

Perhaps the photo below will help?

This amaryllis is my second to begin growing. This is because I could wait no longer for these ladies to begin growing on their own. I brought this amaryllis bulb upstairs and began watering her. Two days later, she'd begun to sprout. Greatly encouraged, I brought the rest of the ladies upstairs and watered them!

This is amaryllis bulb "Number One." I took this picture yesterday.

And this photo was taken today.
:-)

What a difference a day makes!


Wait a minute!
You might want to scroll back up to see those first two photos again...
the ones with the ladies in waiting...



Now look closely at the photo below...
do you see a little something unusual?
Hold still...
And let me catch my breath!
;-)


What's this????

Have a great day!!!
(p.s. Do you think I should let that little "side-winder" grow, or remove the dirt and put him in another pot?)
