Blooming in January

Happy New Year everyone! Hope you all had a great Christmas:)

Weather has been amazing here, snow in the mountains for skiing and mild down below. Went out today & caught a whiff of the first blooms of the new year

    Happy new year!

    Beautiful. Is that a winter honeysuckle? Lonicera fragrantissima or L. x purpusii 'Winter Beauty' perhaps?

    I've got a lone Brassavola nodosa bloom that I can smell in the kitchen at night.

    And tonight I noticed my Osmanthus fragrans is blooming again down in the basement so I brought it back into the house to sniff. :)

    Robert, I'm intrigued by your basement. I picture it kinda like this:

  • 10 years ago

    Ha! I wish. Just a dank half basement of an old tiny house that I've crammed way too many plants into. Laugh.

    So your plant is some kind of winter honeysuckle or what? Lemony scent?

    Happy New Year all

    Oncidium twinkle.

    Robert that looks like my basement

    Beautiful orchid!

    Haha. Glad I'm not the only plant nut. ;)

    I'm thinking about starting to use my moisture meter down in the basement since I'm probably over watering some plants while drying out others simply because I've blocked them off and can no longer see or reach them. :)

    My Camellia 'Scentuous' is finally starting to bloom inside under the T5 lights. So far it's a light floral/cold cream scent?

  • 10 years ago

    Robert that is the camellia I've been looking for. Aagh so beautiful. WANT.

    Btw, yes, l. fragrantissima:)

    Fragrant's photos reminded me that I planted a d. bholua last year so I ran out to take a look, and yes it was in bloom!

    Your daphne is lovely! I still haven't smelled one...yet. :)

    Chloranthus spicatus (Chicken Feet) is finally blooming and producing a light lovely fragrance. It would no doubt have bloomed earlier had I given it more light.

    I think I will pick up a chicken feet too if I see one. It reminds me of my mom as she used to grow these long ago.

    Robert, you must have a daphne odora, this is mandatory. My suggestion: ' Zuiko Nishiki'

    ps. you can leave in ground and not stuff into your basement

    James, please tell me exactly what kind of cordelene that is...And what conditions you give it..It is always so beautiful and just great! You must grow it in your home? Do you use humidifiers? Just amazing!

    Mike,

    I assume you are asking about the Cattleya? It's name is- BLC chia Lin "new city".

    I grow indoors during winter and move it outside for the summer. I do not have a humidifier, I do have a lot of plants which helps with the dry air.

    Hi James..No not the Cattleya... its the This is Coelogyne " unchained melody", the one where you said''"close up"..The white one hanging on the bottom of your last photos..It's beautiful and I have always wanted one)

  • 10 years ago

    Hey Mike, I forgot about this thread. I can send you a piece of the Coelogyne if you want. It's the least I could do, I'm finally getting oranges thanks to you
