This is such a fun, interactive site that I can't resist jumping in. If you go to www.bannersbyricki.com go to the bottom of the home page and click on ricki's blog, it will take you to my list of things in bloom now...and thanks for the nudge to get me out there looking.

Carol,
I am terribly late, but have committed to posting something each month for the Garden Bloggers Bloom Day...so here is my meager offering for February.

Hopefully March will be better.

Well I'm SUPER late this time, Carol...but my GBBD post is finally up! Your hyacinths sure look great, I can almost smell them! Happy Bloom Day! :)

Hey, Carol :-)

I am a bit late in arriving this month but my post is finally up now. I didn't want to miss this month out especially when I have some flowers :-D

I am looking forward to browsing the other gardens now :-D

Seems like you are getting bitten by the orchid bug. :) Cool that you forced hyacinth bulbs. My wife gave away forcing kits to her working buddies for Xmas but no green thumbs there so we haven't heard any comments about hyacinths in bloom.

I'm late! But I finally coralled all of my blooms, and here they are:

We can't grow crocus here in deep south Texas so I love seeing yours! I have a new blog, Cultivating Paradise, and my first GBBD post is up! http://cultivatingparadise.blogspot.com/2008/02/garden-bloggers-bloom-day.html

I am late with my posting, but I love being a part of this conversation - however tardily. And I never tire of your crocus. Here I can see the lilac buds getting a little fatter (I'm not imagining that am I?) but the landscape is buried in more than a foot of snow and a thick icy crust. The road is a rink.

These weekday bloom days are rough for me, as there are never enough daylight hours to do all my photography!

Thanks again to everyone for joining in, whether for the 13th time or the first time or even a tiny bit late.

In answer to Sue Swift's question, I'm just happy to have people participate once a month to show us something in bloom. If after a year you want to change it up a bit by focusing on one 'plant of the month', your top 5 or 10 blooms, or whatever the "wow" in your garden is that

Hi Carol,
I've just been over to Bliss and seen what Yolanda Elisabet said about giving up GBD. I love it but have had my own doubts about extending beyond the year because, in my case, I thought it might get repetitive and boring. There's not much space on a couple of balconies and though I shall be growing some new stuff this year, the old favourites which I've already talked about ad

I'm envious that you have crocus before I do - wow! A neighbor of mine has a whle lawn full now in bloom - and they are on the North side while mine on the South facing yard are still inside their little sheaths. Any day now though, any day now.

I simply love Crocus! I can't grow them here as they don't seem to like our soil or humidity.

I really must force some hyacinths next winter. I love how they smell!

Hi,
I've just posted my first contribution to Garden Bloggers Bloom Day. Lisa, at Greenbow told me about it. What a great idea! My garden is quite frosty at the moment, but some plants are in bloom, despite the weather.

Thank you to everyone who posted for Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day. Sitting here in the grips of winter, it is wonderful to know that there are gardens out there with blooms and spring flowers. And it is good to know there are gardeners like me, who are impatiently waiting for spring, trying to hang on with some indoor blooms or obsessing over one tiny flower blooming outside.

If you

LOL about finding Christmas decorations that have yet to be put away. I know what you mean!

Your row of hyacinths at the window is just lovely. I can imagine their good scent. I spotted two hyacinths just trying to poke up from the ground in my yard. No sign of crocuses yet. Whether it's one or three or dozens -- aren't crocuses always a welcome sight? Enjoy!

2008-02-16T05:22:13.966-05:00

I need to try forcing hyacinths sometime. I haven't smelled one in over 3 years, and I used to love the scent.

What a great idea to be forcing hyacinths. Wonder why I didn't think of it? ;-)

My crocus are buried under about a foot of snow or so. Wonderful to see yours! :-) My GBBD post is up. http://yardisgreen.blogspot.com

Meant to say 'your' pretty orchid, and 'much prettier'. I should proof read I guess!

2008-02-15T23:06:06.563-05:00

I love your hyacinths Carol! I could really enjoy that heady scent right now. Most of my pots of bulbs are still outside, but I brought is 3 two weeks ago and 2 more yesterday. They're coming along nicely. Maybe I'll have those blooms to show for the March bloom day.
I like pretty orchid and agree that it does rather resemble a chicken's foot, but it's much pretty.

2008-02-15T23:00:08.524-05:00

I love the smell of hyacyniths. I am going to have to try to force some in the future. And, I too am in zone 5! We don't have buds yet, but there are leaves coming out of the ground! :)
