Blooms are in short supply this
Garden Bloggers Bloom Day, but I can't complain. From the looks of the other GBBD posts across the U.S., I have a lot to be thankful for.
Notice the red on the baby shrimp plant leaves.
The shrimp plants are in full bloom. The weather has dipped down to freezing a few times so I've been covering these shade bloomers. They are fairing well.
The Arch Duke Charles rose bushes aren't as spectacular as they've been in previous months, but new buds are still opening regularly.
I can see the potted petunias and dianthus form almost any vantage point in the house. They're doing a good job perking up the view on days when it's too chilly to be outside.
Finally salvia gregii or autumn sage is living up to its name with a full show right now. December in San Antonio is more akin to autumn than winter, and that's just fine by me.
A gorgeous assortment of pinks.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful flowers! It's odd for me to see dianthus and salvia this time of year -- thank goodness for those of you who garden in warmer climates and post the photos!
ReplyDeleteI have always thought the Dianthus blooms had such intense colors - quite nice.
ReplyDeleteSo impressed that your plants are still growing. Mine are all dead or sleeping. I obviously need your green thumb. ;)
ReplyDeleteYour yard is still beautiful!
