Living Flowers Bring a Touch of Joy

  

                         (Here's the kitchen table cyclamen, a little Christmas giftie.)

 It's great to have living flowers in one's home or apartment.

They don't even have to be too elaborate, as long as they are living!

 Right now, a two-headed amaryllis is getting ready to bloom. 

 Yes, I have been talking to them, telling them how nicely they have been growing.

There's a small cyclamen, (shown at top of this post), in the small green pot on the kitchen table. 

It was a Christmas gift, (along with a bottle of wine), from a dear niece. 

A darling friend brought a bouquet of pink stock.

 They are in a crystal vase, along with the cyclamen, on the small kitchen table.

 As noted in previous posts, Christmas cactus is absolutely gorgeous.

 So while the small apartment is a long way from being a plant store, it's still nice to have several living, blooming plants scattered in between the "silk" ones at home.

WHAT IS ONE OF YOUR FAVORITE BLOOMING HOUSEPLANTS?

African violets, but since living here (16 years), I've never been able to get them to bloom. I must try again this year!

I don’t have any flower plants except my red poinsettia which I love. Enjoy all of yours.
