WINTER FLOWERS

 

A late Winter Florida bouquet especially for those who could use a little color in their lives right now.   Remember, it won't be long until it is my turn to be envious of your Spring flowers.

 (For Denise's  TODAY'S FLOWERS  and for Judith's MOSAIC MONDAY.)

 

Because we don't have much winter here in Southwest Florida, we also don't have  typical early Spring.  So we don't get typical early Spring flowers.  I look forward to seeing your daffodils, tulips, lilacs ….   (Probably not as much as those of you who still have snow look forward to it though.)

Thank you to all the hosts and to everyone who contributes to these lovely memes.    

We appreciate all visitors and commenters! Thank you.

    Lovely blossoms and Spanish moss — luscious hibiscus! Everything here is still buried under the snow, so it’s nice to visit the flowers… even if it’s only vicariously. 😉

  2. NatureFootstep

    love that hibiscus of yours. 🙂 I only yesterday found the first wild snowdrops. That´s a good sign 🙂

    Gorgeous Sallie!!! I’m a bit late making the rounds this week, this is not a reflection on my appreciation of your offering, thanks so much for sharing the love up-close with I Heart Macro:-)

    We have had long bouts of rain and gray which is driving me crazy. I’m ready for all the beauty shown in your photos.

    Thanks for all these colourful blooms, and for thinking of those of us who really “need” them… All my spring bulbs are still under 4 feet of snow.. It’ll be a while before I “see colour”…..

    Hi Sallie,
    Your mosaic is so pretty, and I can totally relate re: missing out on early spring flowers like tulips and lilacs, as you mentioned, along with one of my favourites: peonies!!
    Have a lovely week!

    Thank you so much for these colourful flowers – and the Spanish moss which I love to see. I’ll be sure to share my spring bulbs with you when they flower.

    I’ve seen quite a few crocuses (croci?) sprouting up around here. That’s a sure sign that the other spring flowers are on their way!
