Blooming Tuesday (my first)

By clicking on the above picture, you will get to Jean's blog, and see a list of others participating in Bloomin' Tuesday.

Thanks, Jean, for commenting on my squirrel pictures, and inviting me to participate here.  

I had trouble getting a good focus on this Goodwin Creek lavender, but wanted to include it because I did a post on lavender, and had put it in my egress window.  I took it out, and put it in my east facing garden window after reading it can grow inside as a houseplant.  This one will be going back outside in the spring, though.  It would have had more blooms, but I cut them to dry.

Some of the African violets have been blooming longer than others.  I got them at garage sales, so don't know their names.

The trailing rosemary is holding onto a couple blooms.  You can see a bird feeder out the window.

The rest of the pics were taken outside.  The ornamental kale is still looking good.

I can't remember what kind of grass that is, but the rue is nice and green, and still has the bloom I showed in my GBBD post.  Baptisia is the tall plant to the left.

The different kinds of coral bells are still looking fine.

This is arum italicum is something I planted as a bulb several years ago, and my son informed me it's supposed to be in the shade.  It gets some afternoon shade, but is in sun a lot of the day.  The foliage dies back after it blooms, and this is the first time I recall that it has regrown. I hope it comes back next year.  

Some of the perennial geraniums have nice looking foliage this time of year.

I love my sage!

These pansies are holding on, wanting to keep blooming against all odds!
