Small Gloxinia started to bloom 8 buds. Gloxinia (correct name Sinningia) is a tuberous plant with soft velvety leaves and bell-shaped flowers of various colors. It's one of the most showy flowering potted plants.
This young begonia has grown in the garden without any flower and now inside it blossoms prettily. Lovely bright red flower in Christmas time.
And finally my beauties, miniature roses Ice Angel. I have two of them and the first one is in bloom. 3 buds appeared a week ago, now one bud is opening. This time is the darkest in the year, I bought special phito-lamp for the plants because roses need more light.
I hope all buds will have opened until Christmas. New poinsettia decorates my desk, the last year ones are very slowly to bloom.
What is blooming in your house, in your garden now?
Wonderfull flowers greeting from Belgium

Thank you Louisette for your comment, have a nice week!
DeleteWhat a beautiful post, Nadezda! Wonderful flowers and really elegant photos. Ice Angel is worth its name and your lace curtains look lovely as well.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your week!
I liked this rose and its name as well, Sara. I was surprised when it started to bloom, the soft color flowers.
DeleteHave a nice week!
Love to hear you forced the hyacinths too. I hope to see them in flower on your blog! Groetjes,
ReplyDeleteHetty
So do I, Hetty:0)
DeleteActually it's my second experiment in forcing, the first one was successful.
Hello Nadezda
ReplyDeleteAll your flowers are very beautiful.
When the window is rainy is such specimens are a real joy.
Greetings from Poland.
Lucia
You're right Lucja.It's a real joy.
DeleteHave a nice week!
Every photo is gorgeous. I'm green with envy. :-) I was outside walking today, picking up sticks, and cutting some greens for decorations, and I can assure you there is nothing out there to report on. Inside I have a large Poinsettia that is beautiful and two Cyclamen that have lovely bright red blooms. :-)
ReplyDeleteLove Cyclamen as well, Judy. Have no idea why but they don't grow well inside and fade fast.
DeleteHappy GBBD!
Your pot plants are as beautiful as your garden. But it's interesting, I didn't know it was possible to grow roses indoors. I never heard of any reason why that would be but it is just something I have never thought of. I have some miniature roses which I planted in the garden and they have done pretty well. Of course here our winters are unlikely to kill roses - I assume that in Russia the weather is too severe to leave them outside?
ReplyDeleteJenny, I live in 'too severe' climate zone 5a (-28 C..-26 C) and when I choose roses for my garden I always look at what zone a rose is. All my roses are hardy and mostly don't suffer frost. This indoor rose didn't grow well in summer and I decided to grow it in warm condition in winter at my home.
DeleteYour pictures are lovely. It's been unusually mild here and some primroses are out in my front border.
ReplyDeletePrimroses in December, wow, Molly. I'd love to see them blooming in my garden as well.
DeleteLove that Gloxinia, you don't see them here so much nowadays, I remember when I was a child my mother always had Gloxinia's in spring. Your Ice Angel rose is wonderful too, do you put her in the garden in spring?
ReplyDeleteWith kind regards,
Janneke
I've had this rose in the garden in summer but it didn't bloom and grew a little. Maybe summer was cool or it's typical inside rose, don't know, Janneke. Next May when ground is warm enough I'll put these roses, hope they're well.
DeleteYour Gloxinia and roses are beautiful Nadezda. We have been having an unusually mild fall/winter with temperatures in the 60's. The same thing happened last year then we got slammed with snow...so we'll see. Happy GBBD!
ReplyDeleteIt seems winter came here, today we have had snow storm and all around got white. Happy GBBD!
DeleteTu casa estas navidades va estar llena de flores preciosas. Las tienes que da un gran gusto mirarlas Nadezda. Que maravillaaaa!!!
ReplyDeletePor aquí el otoño este año, no se quiere marchar, otros en navidades hay nieve en la sierra, no ha caido nada de agua ni de nieve :((
Besos.
Que lástima que no hay nieve, Laura, me gusta Navidad blanca.
DeleteBuena semana!
Nadezda, all your flowers are beautful !!
ReplyDeleteIt is a nice memory of summer !!
Greetings
Yes, it is, thank you Ela.
DeleteVotos de feliz Natal.
ReplyDeleteAG
Gracias, AG!
DeleteThat's a really pretty rose. I do wish they would stop messing around with the names of plants it all becomes very confusing.
ReplyDeleteI agree, Sue. Very often the name or rose color is different of a label.
DeleteIt amazes me that you can grow such beautiful flowers indoors, especially roses! We do have pots of Poinsettia inside at Christmas and put them outside after, but of course it is summer here now. Beautiful colours of Gloxinia and begonia.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing these lovely photos.
Betty
Betty, I put my Poinsettia in the garden in May, when the temps are 10-15 C. It grows well there till autumn.
DeleteHave a nice week!
Hi Nadezda, do you have snow yet at your dacha or is it unusually mild with you too? Loved your gloxinia, I have had them before a few times but they used to get so straggly, possibly because there was not enough light in the window in my living room where I lived before. Maybe I should try again, they are beautiful blooms! Loved your Ice Angel too, I have two miniature roses too indoors, but I plan to put them in the garden when they are finished with this flush of flowers – they have so different watering regime than all my orchids so it’s difficult to keep remembering to water them.
ReplyDeleteHave a great day!
We do have a little snow at the dacha now (-1..-3 C), but yesterday was raining very much, so yes, I can say we have very mild December. And it pleases me especially when I think about my plants :0)
DeleteI understand you well if different watering regime plants stand in one place. I have pelargoniums, orchids and impatience all together.
Absolutely gorgeous!!! Thank you so much for sharing, and Merry Christmas to you, dear Nadezda. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Linda and Merry Christmas to you too!
DeleteOh..you are so lucky to have so many beautiful flowers blooming inside your house. I find it very hard to achieve. They are truly gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteThank you KL!
DeleteThose are some beauties, especially 'Ice Angel'. The Gloxinia is also very pretty.
ReplyDeleteYes, it is, Jason. Thank you!
DeleteYou truly have green fingers AND thumbs! You are an excellent and knowledgeable gardener indoors and out. My own efforts remain pitiful and winter houseplants are not my strength at all.
ReplyDeleteHappy Christmas and a successful New Year in the garden and everywhere else.
Your garden is pretty and always cozy, Friko. Thank you and Merry Christmas to you and your family!
DeleteLove your flower photos, the small Gloxinia is beautiful also the ice angel. The poinsettia always means it is Christmas me, the best decoration. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year 2016 to you :)
ReplyDeletePoinsettia always means Christmas to me too, Nezumi.
DeleteMerry Christmas, wish you good health!
Nadezda, I wish you Christmas filled with magic, wonder and love:)*
ReplyDeleteThank you, Lucja!
