What's In Bloom December 2007

Of all the flowers in my garden this month, my calendulas are doing the best.
They're going crazy. They think it's spring. I wish they were right, but alas, it's been getting cold at night here. Last night—and the night before—it dropped into the low 30's. Frost.
Yikes! I hope this isn't a repeat of last year.
Rain is on the way. The weather "experts" say that there are finally a couple of rainmakers on the way.

I love using red cyclamen at Christmas time.
Stumble It!

Your red cyclamen does work well with Xmas decor. Very festive! I see you have some of the same winter blooms as I do, but I wish I had a passionflower blooming now.

Wow, it looks like summer in your garden! I like the cyclamen going up the steps, too. Very festive.

Thanks for posting for bloom day again.

Wow! I love that passion flower. I hope you don't get frost, because there are still so many flowers in bloom. On a morning with the snow coming down, it's quite a lovely treat coming to see colour. The cyclamen look great on the steps ... I like the white pails. Very nice touch!

Caledula does wonderfully well in the cool weather of fall around here too. Your December garden is beautiful.

Hi Chigiy,

Mark me down as another fan of the cyclamen guiding the visitors up the steps - and your pomegranate looks lovely.

We've had hard freezes since bloom day - hope you can rescue the January edition for Carol!
