Beating the Winter Blues & Cabin Fever...how do you do it???

Lavender...a bit blurry.

Couldn't pass up a shot of this lovely for any AV lurkers.

Another....

And in case Azalea's, Poinsettia's, and Cyclamen are not your thing.....we have orchids!

More...

And another...

no names for these....I was too mesmerized.

Can you see why?

......

Gorgeous!

another..

Almost a touch of peach on this one.

Last one is a group photo....they are all so unique!!

Very nice, Celeste!!

Wow, that's sure to chase the winter blues away. Love the Ice Crystal

Lovely photos. I agree about the ugly poinsetta. Like the cyclyman & the orchids as well. We have a white cyclamin starting to bloom, about 3 yrs old & the apricot Christmas cactus is putting out buds.

What a treat to see all these treasures. Thanks so much. Patti

Thanks all, glad I could share. We still have snow on the ground...it did not go away so this was just what i needed. ^_^

The display that greeted me instantly put me in a better mood....I want one. LOL

I am going to come back to your photos tomorrow morning Celeste... thanks for posting them!!!

oooooo, Celeste......those were so pretty! My fav is the variegated red poinsettia! Love the cyclamens too. I had no idea there were so many poinsettias. They are perennial down here and yet I never see such variety! What a treat! Are you feeling better?

Yes, thanks Loiuse...I feel much better especially after my little trip today. :)

Ahhh....the best kind of medicine, isn't it?? Glad to hear it! So which colors did you bring home for Brian? LOL

They gave away free red ones but i couldn't resist the 'Premium Ice Crystal'.
Oh, and a red & white cyclamen. ^_^

Glad to hear that! The flowers were lovely...I like the pointsettia with the splotched blooms...I think that's Jingle Bells. My stepson would love those orchids.

Mike gave me that same cyclamen for Mother's Day, just loaded with blooms. I brought it down and planted it outside here......it's not looking very good. I think it needs more shade. I will do an emergency transplant tomorrow. Good choices, Celeste!

Marilyn - I liked that speckled one too. I can't say there were any I didn't like....even that pink one that's getting lots of bad press here. LOL

I loved them all, too, Louise!

So pretty..... that's a great way to spend the day.

wow Celeste.... how did you ever control yourself .... I would have had a hard time.... and the one you thought was ugly.. I like... LOL

Nice pictures Celest.
I am knitting caps and scarves for a "halfway" house.

I just don't think it looks like a poinsettia, it would take a while to grow on me. LOL

Nice Ge, they can always use something warm, I think everyone deserves a second chance. :)

I'm with you Pixie.
I like the traditional colors too,Red,White and Salmon.

My picks.....Poinsettia

Cyclamen

Love the foliage ;)

A the one they give you free....

sweeeet

Nice Celeste, I can never decide because they all are so pretty.

Deb.
Gro-More has a nice selection

I know, I was thinking about going there, and I work across the street from Garden Factory and they always have a lot too. Soon.
