This thread is for all who are not looking forward to the Winter months that will soon be upon many of us!
Let's see some indoor vine/bloom photos taken from last year to encourage any newbies to give indoor winter gardening a try!
My first year (last winter) was a total success! And I will be doing it again this year!
Indoor grown Fuji no Monet. A little sunshine on a winter day!
Winter is a dirty word around me!!
Pink Mt. Fuji grown in 2007
I can't do this I have 8 cats that adopted me, anything on a windowsill soon get's toppled; I will have to take some into work!
Lovely blooms, what are they from left to right?
Is that Oleander in the middle? If it is I have never been able to get mine to bloom!

Ronnie - Your Pink were grown indoors? And you got that many blooms at one time indoors? Beautiful! I truly enjoy the Mt. Fuji vines and blooms! They are so entertaining!!!
Rareseedman - I grew some at work this past winter in a sunny classroom window! :-)
The plant in the center was my I. aquatica seedling. Which later grew and was transplanted into a pot outside until I recently was informed it was prohibited in Florida. It's sadly now history...
Added to say:
I don't know if Oleander bushes are prohibited here or not, but they should be! Years ago when I was young, three teenage boys died from using branches from an Oleander bush to roast marshmellows at a campfire. The sap is very toxic. They didn't know it unfortunately. After that happened, everyone here knew not to mess with that plant. People still grow it in their yards. I won't.
