Thank Goodness for my little Greenhouse

Over the years I have discovered that many of my garden flowers do well in my winter greenhouse. 

Early in the year I pot up a few annuals such as poppies, snapdragons, petunias, pansies and especially nasturtiums.  They bloom all Summer outside and continue blooming in my winter greenhouse.

  

My "antique" plate, painted in 2005, is still around.  Just couldn't part with it.  It has all the right flaws.  

This petunia changes yellow and red combinations, all on the same plant.  Sometimes they tend do be a solid red, then they change to a solid yellow and often they are a combination of both and in different patterns. 

When all else fails my geraniums never stop blooming.  I must take new cuttings to rejuvenate some of the more special colors. 

Have a wonderful week.

Thank you dear friends for stopping by and leaving such lovely comments.  You are so appreciated.

Mon Bouquet du Jour

The lowly Nasturtium

One of my most favorite flowers.

Long lasting cut flower.

Easy to grow

When placed in water will reach for the light. 

Will grow in my winter greenhouse.

First day, a week later, two weeks later. 

Even tight buds will open in water.

So, so many colors.

Easily grown from seeds.

Flowers and leaves brighten a salad.

This one, a favorite color. 

They arrange themselves so naturally.  Always pointing upwards. 

They even survive for days in florist tubes.  

I always plant a few Nasturtiums in pots.  
They do well in my greenhouse.  

All others have frozen in my garden.  


Wishing you a wonderful week ahead.
