WHAT DO YOU PREFER ?
A PRESENT
I received a present from an old lady the other day and I am pleased with it. I am always happy when I get a plant or flowers.
I was given a beautiful phaelenopsis, I know some people find it nothing special but I love orchids, what’s not to love about orchids ??? When you just look at their beauty you feel happier instantly !

PHAELENOPSIS
I have the same orchid in snowwhite with a purple heart, exactly the same colour as the new orchids colour.

THIS IS THE WHITE ONE
How can you not love orchids ?!!
Thanks for visiting, have a great day and enjoy your plants and flowers.
PICTURE OF THE DAY

TODAYS PICTURES
I just took a walk in my garden to see what was in bloom at the moment, not much but I found some.

WINTER HEATHER – ERICA CARNEA, easy plant, blooms a long time

VIBURNUM BODNANTENSE, the flowers are tiny, not really spectacular but they smell nice and bloom from Autumn till Spring. There are so many different Viburnums that you can have in the garden that you have Viburnum blooms 12 months per year !

HYACINT, this is not a bloom but a surprise, they are suposed to flower in March-April and it is only the 2nd of January today !!!
Winter has been very mild so far but wet wet wet ! But I’m not complaining, everything is better than snow and ice !!!
Have a great first week all and thanks for visiting !

HE IS DOING IT AGAIN !
He is doing it again my Begonia Muddy Waters, in the middle of the dark season, when the days are short and grey Mister Muddy is doing it again; blooming. The buds are tiny but so very pretty, I love it ! He has almost black leafs and it is a leaf begonia, you don’t buy him for his abundant blooms. It is one of the easiest potplants I know and in Winter I love to see his tiny flowers.

HAVE A MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A VERY HAPPY AND HEALTHY NEW YEAR !

Oldies
More oldies today, it was a cold and a very very wet Monday, a day to spent in bed with hot tea and a good book, alas duty called…
It was a day to dream about vacation in a warmer climat.
These are oldies from Arizona where we had a lovely vaction a few years ago.
