Sunday Blooming Sunday

I do not have much in bloom right now but will share what I do have. Plus a stray african violet or two. The sun shone today, which made it a good day. We enjoyed a small road trip to the soy candle factory so I could buy wax to make my candles and a couple of new fragrance oils, well, one is a repeat, Orange Spice which is a popular scent with those that I have give a candle to, the new scent that I have not tried before is Orange Blossom. I also bought some soy tea lights at their retail outlet I don't make tea lights, too little and I would spill to much :) . Then we went to my parents to take them our for Chinese.

Christmas Cactus

Since I haven't posted much I am going to back track some. My Christmas Cactus was really pretty this year, this is the old fashioned one that has been around forever. This plant was given to me by a co-worker who passed away a couple of years ago, this was a start off of his mother's plant.

Sunday Snowy Sunday

On this snowy day in Iowa, I want to share some pictures of things that are in bloom in my little world. The Christmas Cactus is a bit of a late bloomer. The first photo is of a Star Hoya that blooms almost the entire year. I have several other Hoyas that bloom in late winter to spring, their blooms are all wonderfully fragrant but the Star Hoya's blooms have no fragrance.
