GARDEN BLOGGERS MONTHLY BOUQUET ~ LAST OF THE YEAR

Noelle at http://azplantlady.com/  hosts our monthly bouquet group. Are there any brave souls out there in the cold, bleak winter searching for those last flowers to assort and display? Go visit and see. :0)
                Not exactly Christmas colors, but Tradescantia doesn't come in red. If it does, send me some!
                                    Ah, that's better!  Mexican Firespike with variegated Alstroemeria. I did this for the November bouquet and it was such a hit with my wife, I did it for this month as well.
         After a year of regrowing from last Winter's freeze, the Brugmansia finally blooms just in time for the Holdiays.  Talk about patience...a whole year of waiting for this one bloom. That's 2 1/2 bouquets for this time around. The Brugmansia  hardly counts, but I think it's pretty.  Thanks for visiting. David :0)

  1. I love the brugmansia....great plant. Our frost killed the leaves back....new ones are forming again. If we have another frost, I have decided that I will bring it inside. It had some nice blooms on it.

  3. Hi,
    Your bouquet is beautiful..and so is your wife's pineapple upside down cake :) I so enjoy looking at the way people in different climates make up a bouquet each month. There weren't many entries this month...everyone is so busy. Wishing you a Happy Gardening New Year. Balisha
