Happy new year!
Blooms of previous years: http://forums2.gardenweb.com/discussions/1458266/january-blooms?n=71
This year opens for me with the full show of stuff that started blooming last month.
Kalanchoe x houghtonii and blossfeldiana. The really tall one in this pic is K. fedtschenkoi, which looks like it's going into bloom mode too.
More individuals of the same kinds.
Some red K. blossfeldiana.
Billbergia nutans (queen's tears.)

January blooms
Comments (71)Do wish it wasn't so difficult to capture many of the reds and purples accurately with digital cameras. Never had that problem with film. Color should be much darker and richer -- none of the magenta garbage. (The font color I'm using is actually a bit closer.) If only you could see the actual color. *sigh* This one starts off green then 'ripens' to yellow. Lightly fragrant I must admit I often forget about this mini. It's literally always in bloom (or darn close to it) so really have reached the point of rarely noticing. It has about filled up the 3inch pot its in -- and it has only taken around 5yrs or so to do it from the 0.5 inch plug I started with. heh (For those of you who have yet to venture into the world of micro minis, this is why they cost at least as much if not more than that blooming sized catt or cym. ;) ) The flower is roughly 5-6mm long from front to back. Entire plant stands about 1.5 - 2 inches (4-5cm) high....See MoreEarly Acacia in January bloom

Comments (5)GGG ~ You guys have been getting a LOT of rain, hope you will see some blue sky for real, soon. Annette ~ You are welcome, glad the pictures picked you up. We've had some gray days ourselves, and it's those days that I can sense what you up north must go through, except it's for months at a time, not just a few days. Hang in there, you'll have blue skies pretty soon. Cousin Kathy ~ Sorry you had to leave Phyllis Bide behind. If we ever leave here, someone would probably destroy our whole compound and put up something very modern, which would fill up the whole property and the gardens would most certainly disappear. I've seen lovely yards around the county, where either the people who had been lovingly tending them either died or moved, and the whole atmosphere changes. To me it's sad, because for the most part, what was there is GONE. How awful for you to see what the new owners did to your old garden. Enjoy the beauty you are creating there in your new home.

I've been noticing the slowness too. I haven't been on here as much this month as I usually am. Must be the January blues

8 years agolast modified: 8 years agoNot much to share but this is a sprig of wandering jew that had fallen from the hanging pots at Home Depot and made it into on one of the plants I had bought a few weeks back. I just stuck it in a jar with some philodendron I was rooting and finally potted it up. It decided it wanted to bloom to thank me for rescuing it.
Paperwhites I bought after Christmas on clearance. They got stuck behind the TV. They aren't as strong smelling as most paperwhites I've had.
I am still waiting on my hibiscus to open up. I rescued this braided plant in about September for $5 It only had three or four leaves on any one stem.. I never got around to giving it a prune because it has been covered in blooms ever since I potted it up and gave it a little feeding. There are two different colors of blooms in the braid. I'm hoping it will quit blooming before it starts putting out new growth so I can finally give it a tip prune..
My lepismeum has blooms for the fourth time since I got it back in August. It was covered in blooms in September but fell out of the tree I had it in and broke many of the buds off. It never seems to rest. It also has berries going.

8 years agoIt is supposed to be a double yellow, but I think the braid was just a bunch of random cuttings because I've seen a double red and now this peachy orange one. It's pretty but it's not a double flower.

Never thought I'd get any of my aquatic plants to bloom let alone 2!
