Windowsill Spring

by Meg Lynch, Editor

flowercloseupFeb11.jpgI know spring is around the corner when my houseplants start to perk up. Here are the first of my cacti to bloom. Some others have buds forming. These are planted together in the bottom half of a clay pot designed to cook a chicken. It is the perfect shape and depth!

These first blooms prove for me that the sun is getting stronger and the daylight hours, longer. Do you know we start Daylight Savings Time in three weeks?  I can’t wait to be getting home while it is still light out—looking at the garden is a great way to end the day.

What a lovely dish garden! I like this idea of a bunch of the same type of mammillaria in the same dish! Especially at blooming time!
