I have a pair of pink camellia shrubs growing indoors, a large one I ordered from Logee's Greenhouse, and a smaller one rooted from a cutting. The big one has never bloomed. The little, home-made one just did.
I've had this azalea for over a decade, at least. An amazingly reliable houseplant.
The Crown of Thorns.
Every autumn my passion flower dies all the way back but around the first of the year it sends up fresh young shoots. I've snipped back the new growth to encourage branching, and now it's twining nicely around the tuteur.
Another reliable old-timer, the red cyclamen.
The Chap received this ivy as a welcome gift when he started his job over 3 years ago. It was in a faltering state of health by the time he moved into his new office last autumn so he brought it home for triage. I've brought it back from the brink and it's looking much better.
Scented geranium leaves.
The Chap is also an indoor gardener--or rather, farmer. These are his sprouts.
Outdoor, the naked mermaid is sunbathing, and probably glad that the snow has receded.
Elsewhere, another garden statue is still buried in snow and caged by rose canes and dead stalks of bergamot.
I hope your strolls take you to pleasant places today. To continue strolling, visit Aisling's blog. And thanks for stopping by.
