Christmas Flowers?

Everything outside is covered with snow and all of my beautiful flowers like the one above are gone until spring. But fortunately I have plants inside where it is warm. It is always thrilling when one of the plants blooms in the wintertime, especially the rare ones.

Isn't this exciting, my Candy Cane plant is in bloom! Just look at the color of those gorgeous flowers. This rare plant only blooms around Christmas.

You know I can't resist doing a few macro shots of the beautiful blooms.


It is a little sad however when the blooms start to fall off..........sad, but very tasty!

Speaking of tasty here's a recipe that uses crushed candy canes: Reindeer Feed! Click on the link and check it out.
