What’s blooming the first half of January?

Not much, but I found a few.

This is my showiest bloom. It’s an amaryllis, a lovely and thoughtful gift from one of the garden club ladies. Don’t you love how sharing plants is a little connection between gardeners?  I’m going to plant it in the garden this spring.

This is my poinsettia and Gomphocarpus (its common name is hairy balls, but my eldest prefers I use the Latin). I think hairy balls add an interesting shape to flower arrangements, and they are sooo long lasting. These are actually the same cuttings I picked for Thanksgiving. I grew the plant from seed last year. It was very easy to grow, but you need to keep a close eye on it. Bugs really like hairy balls.

This is witch hazel (Hamamelis Virginiana). It is growing wild in the woods around my house. It’s a native (the Latin gives that away). It grows naturally in the shaded understory, but I have one in almost full sun, and it’s doing fine. It is a small tree or large shrub. The flowers are bigger, and the autumn color is better on some of the new and improved varieties. I’d like to get one with orange flowers to plant next to this one.
