A friend gave me a beautiful container with lots of plants for Christmas, which continues to bring me joy.<br /><br />Plus, I try to keep a bouquet of fresh cut flowers in my kitchen that cheer me even on drab, dreary days.Debby Giustihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09463321611980242375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4945907563318808519.post-21747210331532940792017-01-24T11:04:53.428-08:002017-01-24T11:04:53.428-08:00Merrillee, I'm not familiar with Vincas!

In our previous house, my husband grew several bushes, and I would cut the full blooms and float them in little water glasses. So pretty! I miss them. you enjoy yours, and I hope you don't get that storm!Jill Kemererhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07865493609868329393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4945907563318808519.post-10742781792671012282017-01-24T11:01:38.812-08:002017-01-24T11:01:38.812-08:00I live in Alabama, so the flowers in my area usual...I live in Alabama, so the flowers in my area usually start blooming early spring (sometimes sooner if the weather is warm enough). I love roses and recently planted 3 rose bushes (pink) in the flowerbed along the front of my house. I have Indian Hawthorne that blooms a lovely white against their medium green leaves (which stay green all winter). There's nothing like watching the trees in my neighborhood sprout their beautiful green leaves and birds of all kinds start to build their nests after a a drab winter.<br /><br />It's the end of January and we're just now starting to experience lower temps, but down here we know one part of the week can be in the upper 60s/lower 70s and the remaining part of the week we can be under a winter storm advisory. So, I like to decorate my home year round in spring colors just so I don't feel as nutty as our weather. :) Angela Hood-Rosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17985240493993599473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4945907563318808519.post-75832087793350812982017-01-24T08:31:58.142-08:002017-01-24T08:31:58.142-08:00I still have flowers blooming in my yard.

I will cover them and hope they survive. They also survive the summer heat. In the spring here the cacti bloom. When I lived up north, I always loved the daffodils and tulips in the spring.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04727952110511274222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4945907563318808519.post-9326341794823648252017-01-24T08:10:53.915-08:002017-01-24T08:10:53.915-08:00Christina, yes, drab and gray sums up our winter, ...Christina, yes, drab and gray sums up our winter, too. Although I can't complain because we haven't had the severe cold or heavy snow of years past!<br /><br />Mary, I would love to see little yellow flowers poking through! They sound cute and happy!<br /><br />Christine, I hadn't thought to watch golf! Great idea! And it's a relaxing sport to watch. I'm adding it to my list!<br /><br />Pamela, haha!! My husband is much better at keeping plants alive than I am. The poinsettia is my pet project, though. I'm hoping with just one plant to focus on, I can keep it alive!<br /><br />Thanks for chiming in!<br />Jill Kemererhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07865493609868329393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4945907563318808519.post-17434463256386332632017-01-24T07:28:55.128-08:002017-01-24T07:28:55.128-08:00I love plants in a house.

My husband is always trimming it toooooo short. Then, it thrives. Not sure that counts for spring, though.

I looked for those beautiful azaleas and brilliant green grass, knowing that "spring" flowers were a month away and green trees an even longer wait.

Yesterday was gorgeous. I've noticed the little tiny yellow flowers that look like tiny daisies (they are probably weeds) are springing up all over our yard. Love to see those little guys and they're obviously tough. Here's hoping Winter is short and Spring comes soon.

I do buy plants in the clearance section in my grocery store however. I love HGTV but get so caught up in the show I forget to pay attention to the beautiful scenery. It's been a drab gray odd winter here too. Thankful this is the last week of January.Christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17986754875043975943noreply@blogger.com
