Flowers 2018

[my nellie]

These Cyclamens love calcareaous soil and shade. I have plenty in my garden from a few that were given to me and settled there because they probably thought it was cool to flower at AlainK's jungle
Went for a walk at an Arboretum today, and there were plenty everywhere.

I just love them!
There are plenty of them in our farm growing under the Pine and Platanus trees.
The one I posted is removed from there and planted into a pot.

Looking at the flower I was in total surprise, blooming at this time!
But then I read the caption and it's clear

I bring in all my favorite hibiscus. They don't mind at all. I get to see blooms all winter, which is nice, during a long boring winter.

Gorgeous, especially with those translucent edges on the petals. I’ll bet they smell wonderful!

They do smell wonderful, especially with 4 inches of snow on the ground outside.

Here’s a Chinese Quince of mine. Not sure if it’s blooming extra early or extra late.

Obviously camellia, looks like yuletide. Mine has been blooming for a couple of weeks now.
