Blooming Friday-Colours of Christmas

The geraniums are flowerinng now, reminding one that Christmas is not far.


The Cricifix Orchid is putting out more flowers. Tou can see the 'crucifix' clearly if you click on the flower.


The Crown of Thorns, Euphorbia milii is also putting out lots of flowers.



The Poinsettia, Euphorbia pulchrima, is of course, the flower which is associated with Christmas.
Many more flowers which are associated with Christmas in this part of the world are blooming now. Please visit Katarina at Roses and Stuff for more Blooming Friday pictures.

  3. Very pretty! It's difficult to grow geraniums here although I've tried several times. (I've given up now):( Love all your colours!

  6. I was thinking the same as Lillebeth - how strange that Geraniums are at their best at Christmas in your part of the world...here it's a typical summer bloomer.
    Have a great weekend!
