Holidays are just about here already!  one of my favorites is cranberries
in glass with candles.



Cranberries are pretty neat, you can put them in any shape
glass with candles and it just makes the holidays.


now twist your head to the right,  are we getting dizzy yet?  I am,
anyway my tree is decorated with ornaments that people have
given me every christmas.  My mother-in-law makes stars
out of paper, so every year I put them on the tree.
I don't use real trees,  too dangerous for my dogs.


I got this waterford ornament from my sister when I first moved
into our house.

Blue glass ball ornament

and I even got a cucumber one year ? I still am scratching my head.
Anyway I hope ya'll had a nice time with your head twisting
from left to right,  and that will conclude our excersise for today...:)

Cyclamen is in bloom, the fuschia color lights up the room.


The Christmas cactus blooms are just as pretty.


and the polka dot plant is doing fairly well, they make great house plants.

Gotta to love the Wintergreen Gultheria,  cute berries and burgundy color
foliage.

season.  Cape Primrose (Streptocarpus)



Miniature roses
 
Rex Begonias






Hibiscus


Miniature Orchid



Talium Limon


Mandevillas are still blooming


Kalanchoe
Well that's all I have to show, thanks for stopping by!

Hello all, thank you for the nice thoughts while I was in absence
I was surprised to hear my blog was nominated for the best garden
blog of Illinois, from Blotanicals,
though I did not win it was flattering to be even thought of. 
My mom Carolyn of Sweet Home and Garden
was nominated too, but Garden Girl won and she deserves it,
Congrats Linda!
