There aren't many flowers in bloom outdoors yet, but blue scillas add welcome color in a few parts of the yard.
The are small patches of hellebores in several flower beds...
Not sure why some grow more successfully than others.
Tulips are coming up. I have to keep my eye on this bunch in the front yard.
The squirrels bite off the flowers as soon as they bloom. I sprinkle paprika around them, in hopes of deterring the squirrels - but I'm not sure it helps!
Indoors, my biggest flower surprise is the re-blooming of the Christmas cactus. Watering the plant more seems to increases its blooming.
I wonder if the pink tips on the ends of leaves indicate more flowers are on the way!
Other indoor flowers currently in bloom are two potted peace lilies, one in full bloom, the other still in bud...
My one and only orchid, with a mass of flowers, sits next to the sparcer African violets.
At this time of year, I appreciate them all!
