i love it when my houseplants bloom

I LOVE pot plants! Regardless of whether they are flowering ones or not, I just love having them around the house. It even got to the stage a couple of years ago that I had to give some away because it was beginning to look like a jungle here LOL I had been taking cuttings from some green hanging plants and growing them from scratch and there were just too many! This year I have no flowering plants yet. I was away most of last year and I still haven't got straight since I came back. Next week warmer weather is forecast here which means we can have the windows open all day long and that is when I like to have the windowsills filled with flowering plants. African violets like yours will be one of my choices too

Not many flowers bloom indoors and you have made the right choice by planting African violets. They are ideal for window sills. If you want greenery indoors then Diefenbachias are the most ideal. They even grow where there is absolutely no sun. Since I have a huge garden I don't need to plant anything indoors and with the clear glass windows I have, my outdoor garden is visible from all corners of my hall. Happy gardening!

I love flowery plants I have them in my dooryard, I watered them everyday, I love seeing them grow and have flowers. I commented on your pictures it really attracts me and hoping that we have them here in my country or at least here in my town. I will look those flower tomorrow in one of the flower shop near my town. I don't have green thumb either but it seems it's my luck this year since my dooryard blooms many flower and I was surprised and glad that I can grew them now.

Me too I never had much of a green thumb but when I took care of orchids given to me by a friend I was so happy seeing them with flowers. It's an achievement seeing them in blooms really I feel delighted too.

I share your happiness seeing plants especially flowers in bloom. They do add enthusiasm and brighten my day. They do challenge me as if saying, if I can make wonderful flowers, why can't you? Nature is indeed mysterious.

Are those the actual pictures of your plants? They're beautiful. I've always imagined a small garden with different plants in front our house. I wanted to have bonsai plants, shrubs, and a few flowers and orchids. But, I never got to materialized those visions. I don't have experience in growing and taking care of plants and I'm afraid that I'm just going to be investing and not getting anything out of it, when all plants die on me.

I bring in some that bloom in the winter, but even just the green ones lift my spirits in the winter. I did not move a lot in the last thirty some years, but I have had some good years and some not so good. I like being able to put them out in the summer so that they can get strong.

hi suebee I also loved it but am out of an apartment and into a retirement center.big whoopedy do!! but compared to living on the streets in homeless shelters it is the best we co uld do three'years ago.I used to have African violets and primroses and philodendron that hung to the floor but we moved so much I final had to give them away. I have been thinking of getting one or two African violets to have something green and growing they do not take up a lot of space and the blooms are so pretty.I love it too when they come to bloom.

The African violets really beautiful ! I too love house plants and keep experimenting and shifting them around the house to find the right spot during different seasons.I agree that plants give us a lot of pleasure and satisfaction when they bloom and thrive under our care ...all the best

Nature is still the most fascinating things and no matter how tech savvy we become, you always like it when you observe these small things. I have a small terrace garden of my own and I get equally excited whenever the new plants bloom. Watering them in the evenings is my most fulfilling activity.

My mother has a green thumb herself and she has a couple of beautiful plants all over our place. She has bonsai or small plants, some big ones. She makes a living out of it by having them displayed in some establishments or even banks and they pay her monthly.

Thanks for sharing Subhee I have flower plants in pots in front of home and on the roof top garden, i too feel happy when they bloom, some i offer to our gods/goddesses lol. HAPPY VALENTINE DAY.

hi, of course who will not feel that when there plants bloom a flower,like my plants,i really love to see my plants have a blooming flowers and turn it to a small fruits or berries,and sometimes when some flowers fall i just feel sad and worry to my plant.

That was nice and congrats.;) Gardening is sometimes not that easy specially in the wild changes in weather and to see plant/flowers bloom can really make a day. I used to have a small garden before and it was a vegetable garden. I really love eating fresh vegetables and those taste better.
