I really appreciate my indoor flowers at this time of the year. One new one is the Christmas cactus, which has never bloomed for me. I was away from home for a few days...
While I was gone, it started to bloom.
Two of my three peace lily flowers dried up - so I trimmed them off. But the one in the third pot is still blooming - and a second flower bud is developing there, too. That's progress! Last year the plant only had one flower.
In another room with a north-facing window, my only remaining African voilet is still in bloom. I used to have a few of them.
Next to it, an orchid is growing buds. Half of the plant is a stem full of buds. The other half is a healthy-looking bunch of aerial roots that apparently absorb moisture from the air.
It's always a challenge to make sure that every plant has the right soil, water and light it needs. They are all so different. Every flower is a little victory: "Yay! I got it right!"
