The Flowers of Winter

A week ago I thought I'd be planting primroses soon. Mother Nature once again fooled us. The cold temperatures and late winter snow made be thankful I have surrounded myself with winter flowers this year. I have had some beauties also. This poinsettia has brightened the room for two months.

The amaryllis plants have been the stars of the winter. I have loved experimenting with my camera and lighting with these blooms.

The orchid that arrived Valentine's Day from my husband is another plant that has brightened some gray days in the dining room.

I am never disappointed by the Christmas cactus. I just don't know what holiday the buds will appear.
