Garden Bloggers’ Bloom Day – February 2012

February 15, 2012 By Carol Michel 91 Comments

Snowdrops in the snow

Welcome to Garden Bloggers’ Bloom Day for February 2012.

Here in my USDA Hardiness Zone 6a garden, I’ve been enjoying a mild winter.  But I’ve been enjoying it with one eye open, watching for winter, wondering where it is, waiting for it to send us some real snow and cold and wind.

Finally after the watching, wondering, and waiting, winter sent us some snow early yesterday morning, leaving flowers like snowdrops covered by about an inch of snow.

No worries, though.  By mid-day, some of the snow had melted on the south side of the house and by late afternoon, most of the snow had melted completely throughout the garden.

We’ll be back to our mild winter weather before we know it.

Snow is certainly expected in mid-February around here. Looking back at past bloom days, we didn’t have snow on the ground in mid-February in 2011, but we did have a big snow and ice storm at the beginning of February that year.  We had snow in 2010.  We didn’t have snow in 2009.  We had snow in 2008. And we definitely had snow in 2007, the first year of Garden Bloggers’ Bloom Day.

This little quote seems appropriate for the season…

“Sing a song of Winter
The world stops dead;
Under snowy coverlid
Flowers lie abed.”

      From “All in a Garden Fair” by Alice T. A. Quackenbush (A. T. De Le Mare Company, Inc., 1925)

Here are some flowers that “lie abed” under “snowy coverlid” in my garden in mid-February.

There are golden crocuses.

And purple crocuses.

And little violas.

Other blooms braving the cold and snowy coverlid include the witchhazel, Hamamelis vernalis, and the Christmas Rose, Helleborus niger.

Inside, the Christmas cactus which bloomed in December has decided to repeat its blooms for February.

I’d like to think that it is my green thumb, my careful attention to all of this plant’s needs, that has caused it to re-bloom. That is only true if neglect and occasional watering qualify as “careful attention”. Sometimes, for some plants, that’s all it takes.

And that’s February in my garden.

What’s blooming in your garden on this mid-February day?

We would love to have you join in for Garden Bloggers’ Bloom Day and tell us. It’s easy to participate and all are invited.  Just post on your blog about what is blooming in your garden on the 15th of the month and leave a comment to tell us what you have waiting for us to see so we can pay you a virtual visit. Then put your name and the url to your post on the Mr. Linky widget below to make it easy to find you.

“We can have flowers nearly every month of the year.” ~ Elizabeth Lawrence

    Yes, we've had a very odd winter ourselves here in CA. Hardly any rain in the rainy season is not great. But that's no reason not to enjoy the flowers anyway.

    Love your little snowdrop. Happy bloom day!

    Hi Carol, I'm so excited to be able to participate this month as I have just a few blooms in my garden during our mild winter in the Pacific Northwest. What a delight to get a second round of blooms on your Christmas cactus. Mine did not bloom this year at all. First time in the 10+ years I've had it. Hm? Cheers, Jenni

    All our snow has disappeared again. I would be very happy if that’s all the snow for this winter, but it is a bit too soon to say. I have several plants flowering at any time in my garden, even in December and January; in fact, I have fewer plants in flower in August than any month of the year. Not long to go for the daffodils now!

    It seems like many a mild Winters this year. I've included in this month's BBD snapdragons that are beginning to flower – quite strange for this time of year! Northern Ireland generally gets mild Winters but I think milder than usual this year. P.S. Aren't Christmas cactus great; mine didn't flower in Dec but is flowering now. All the best, Kelli.

    True to form, it is a bit colder and more snowy here in PA. My snowdrops have been buried for a week, which is the longest stretch of snow we have had yet, so I cannot complain. But 38 F and rain is expected for tomorrow.

    I'm beginning to wonder if we'll see winter at all this year in Southeast Tennessee. It was 'supposed' to snow this week, and I didn't even have frost on my windshield on my way to work the next morning — not that I'm complaining. Scraping ice off my windshield is not my favorite early morning task.

One of my lilacs is trying to leaf out. But as far as the flowers, it is only a couple of indoor African Violets for this month. I also have a reblooming Christmas Cactus, but it is only budding right now. Can't believe how snowless this winter has been!

    Nature is so determined! Love your flowers peeking out of snow. In central Texas, we've had no snow but we have had rain and I have some blooms to report.

    We've had a mild winter here too. I've really enjoyed the flowers!

    Your little blooms are valiant in the snow. I can hardly wait for spring this year… We had some clear 55*F days in January that will probably set up some plants for early spring, I hope the weather will play nice.

    How lovely to get a second bloom on your Christmas cactus!

    Snowdrops look even prettier to me when blooming in the snow. I'd be thrilled to find an outside bloom this time of year, even if they were surrounded by a little snow.

    My first time to participate in GBBD in almost two years although I have continued to read May Dreams Gardens.
