I didn't really expect to have a lot to post this Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day. As you can see above, my houseplant areas are mostly a sea of green. (Okay, and silver, and chartreuse, and purple... details on that will have to wait for Foliage Follow-Up tomorrow!) But the passalong abutilon from Kylee absolutely glows in this grouping. Here's a closer shot of its delicate bloom:
And I think that the Meyer Lemon is getting to be a little bit of a drama queen, too. After a whole week or two without getting any blog-love from me, it decided that it needed to throw out some more flowers. At least 4 different branches have swelling buds like these:
And then there are the sneaky blooms, like this rescued peace lily whose flower spathe gets "lost" against the white wall in the dining room:
And the jewel orchid, whose flower stalk keeps growing along the curtain, meshing in with the white lace. Here it's being held upright so it can be seen:
And then there are the sneaky flowers that are blooming in the attic. My attempts at forcing dormancy in the chilly attic have achieved mixed results... but this abutilon megapotanicum seems fairly happy with its surroundings, even if it is a bit faded in color:
And the euphorbia is convinced that early spring is upon us:
From forced dormancy, we'll go to forced bloom... and close with a few shots of the gorgeous orchid I got from a coworker for my birthday last week:
The lighting in my office is atrocious, but I think that you can still tell how electric the color is on this phal. To see what's lighting up other gardeners' lives this Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day, visit Carol at May Dreams Gardens!
