When Clivia begins to bloom this means that spring is coming. Warm days will come soon and the snow will melt.
This makes me to look more often at catalogs of flowers and seeds, choose new varieties for tubs and hanging pots.
I also want to grow new varieties of tomatoes and peppers, a lot of greens for salad.
These plans appeared when Clivia had bloomed.
What are your plans for spring?
As you state, Nadezda, spring is fast approaching. Already I notice more warmth in the sun and the days are longer,
ReplyDeleteSo did I David. I'm waiting for warmth and spring.
DeleteI can sense the anticipation in your words. The lovely Clivia is doing well inside. You will be glad to welcome Spring and all that it means.
ReplyDeleteIt's warm and humid here. The rain has come to much of the bush fire areas. Hopefully enough to quench most of the fires. Now there is serious flooding in Queensland and New South Wales! That's Australia!
Keep well, Nadezda.
Betty
Finally the fires finished Betty. I'd often seen news about Australia, it was terrible. Now is flooding :-( Wish you quiet winter.
DeleteHello Nadezda!
ReplyDeleteThe Clivia is very pretty. Yes, soon the days will be longer and warmer. Here we have much rain and wind today.
Have a nice Sunday!
The weather here is similar your place Marit. What nice time will be soon.
DeleteQue preciosa está. Así parece amiga. Este año puede que se adelante al no tener nieve está floreciendo todo.
ReplyDeleteMis planes son volver a sembrar el huerto y esperemos que el año venga bien, que el pasado fue un poco malo.
Te deseo un buen domingo.
Un abrazo.
Tienes razón, Laura, estoy pensando en plantar flores y vegetales.
DeleteTambién quiero que este año sea mejor que el pasado, necesito más salud para hacer todo en el jardí
My Dear, your Clivia has flourished wonderfully. I already miss spring so much, sunny and green. That is why I bought a lot of flowers in pots at home to improve my mood and make the wait for this wonderful season more pleasant. I will present a collection of these plants in a post at the end of the month of February.
ReplyDeleteHave a nice Sunday.
Anita
I can imagine how beautiful is your home with lots of flower pots, Anita.
DeleteWait to see your collection of new plants.
Very beautiful flowers!
ReplyDeleteKiitos Anne.
DeleteНадежда,красивая кливия,яркая.Сажаю рассаду и цветов тоже виолу ампельную,петунию тоже ампельную .
ReplyDeleteНадежда, вы так рано сажаете рассаду. Я пока жду конца месяца.
DeleteАмпельная виола мне тоже нравится.
My clivia flowers have gone over now. I guess we will have a busy spring trying to catch up - that is if the soil ever dries out enough.
ReplyDeleteI see your garden season starts very early Sue. Good luck!
DeleteBeautifil lily,
ReplyDeleteI also want to plant them in my garden,
Have a lovely week, Nadezda!
Hugs, Ida
Dear Ida, I'm not sure if clivia grows well in the garden. I want to know your experience.
DeleteWonderful. A friend gave me her Clivia because she couldn’t make it bloom. It is in my bathroom now and a flower shoot is coming up. I can’t wait!
ReplyDeleteOh, what a surprise Friko. This Clivia liked your home and bathroom.
DeleteSure it will decorate your home.
Thank you Agnes.
ReplyDeleteClivia is beautiful, Nadezda! I love the bird feeding on the feeder.
ReplyDeleteI wish you a good week!
Hugs!
Thank you Tania, the birds love eat in my garden, I always feed them in winter.
DeleteBeautiful! Love the cheer color.
ReplyDeleteSo do I Endah.
DeleteWonderful, happy flowers and photos!
ReplyDeleteThe days are already longer, but we start to wait for spring only next month. The weather has been incredibly strange, the temperature is above zero also now, but we may have still weeks of cold weather coming before spring arrives.
Wishing you sunny days!
I agree Sara, this winter is unbelievable warm, today we have +5 C. When the indoor plants flower I always think about spring coming ;-)
DeleteEstá preciosa, es una planta que no tengo y me encanta. Por aquí casi llego la primavera, pronto empezaré a sembrar tomates, pimientos, berenjena y algunas cosas más. Un abrazo fuerte.
ReplyDeleteQue bonito tiempo llego a tu lugar Teresa. La primavera me encanta.
Deletevery impressive photos of your Clivia Nadezda.
ReplyDeleteThank you Alistair.
DeleteHow beautiful is your Clivia.
ReplyDeleteSpring is really almost here.
Hugs and all the best
It is, Maria.
Deletethank you.
Hola Nadezda, mis planes son como los tuyos, flores y verduras siempre y cuando la salud de mi madre me deje. La Clivia es preciosa, su color maravilloso. Feliz día. Besos.
ReplyDeleteEspero que tu madre se sienta mejor y puedas cumplir tus planes, Lola.
DeleteBesos!
Прекрасный цветок, напоминающий о приближении весны!!!
ReplyDeleteСогласна, Татьяна.
DeleteСпасибо что заглянули ко мне в блог!
Good morning dear Nadezda,
ReplyDeleteIt's wonderful to have the Clivia. I remember my grandmother had it in her livingroom. It's bringing the sunshine in.
Have a wonderful day.
Rosehugs Marijke
I agree Marijke, Clivia brings sunshine and spring feeling.
DeleteHello Dear Nadezda!
ReplyDeleteYour Clivia is beautiful.
I am very happy that this is a sign of spring.
Hugs and greetings.
Lucja
So am I Lucja.
DeleteThank you.
Your Clivia blooms are so beautiful and I also love the photo of the sweet bird. There are signs of spring here as well as hyacinths and crocus slowly emerge from the ground. It has been one of the mildest winters here in years and I think this is the earliest I have seen these bulbs coming up. Hopefully March won't bring any surprises, as it is an unpredictable month. Keep enjoying your blooms with thoughts of spring!
ReplyDeleteI suppose this winter was the mildest here as well, Lee. My lawn has been green during the winter, there is no snow. I agree March may bring us surprises but I hope spring is coming soon.
DeleteWhat a lovely flower! My plans for spring were to have a great variety of different spring bulbs on the balcony. However, winter has been so warm in London that many of the bulbs are coming out already - crocus tricolour is almost over, and also some of the early daffodils, and even some very pretty red tulips.... but the worst thing is that a grey squirrel has discovered how to get on the balcony and is digging them all up and destroying them. I think it's very hard to get rid of squirrels. We're trying all kinds of things, deterrent sprays don't work, it seems. Chicken wire round the drainpipes just encouraged them to climb up neighbouring drainpipes and leap from balcony to balcony until they reach ours. They're clever creatures.
ReplyDeleteOh what a problem, Jenny. It’s a pity that your balcony has become an interesting subject for these creatures. Unlike others, I do not like squirrels, I think they are rats with a fluffy tail. The behavior of both squirrels and rats is similar, smart beasts, they even have muzzles similar. Hope your other balcony plants are safe and grow well.
DeleteNadezda - My clivia bloomed early, too. I have only one but it bloomed twice just a few months apart. The first blooming had a seed head but it withered away which made me wonder if it was sterile. I haven't gotten around to researching that. I also didn't get around to taking any photos. Good that you did!
ReplyDeleteLinda, sure your Clivia bloomed very pretty twice a year. It's amazing.
DeleteMine blooms before spring coming every year.
Hugs!
