"For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life." John 3:16

"Know ye that the Lord he is God; it is He that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are His people, and the sheep of His pasture. Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, and into His courts with praise. Be thankful unto Him and bless His name. For the Lord is good; His mercy is everlasting; and His truth endures to all generations" Psalm 100:3-5

Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day, February 2024

Prentiss County, Mississippi, USA, February 2024

In January we had snow and sleet on the ground and below freezing temperatures for nine days. It set my flowers back several weeks. I looked at my February Bloom Day posts for the last few years. I had masses of Daffodils, but this year I have only a few buds.

Hopefully, my March Bloom Day post will be full of Daffodils!

Hellebores just laugh at cold weather!

The Spirea has only a few blooms, but I am hoping for hundreds of these tiny blooms in the next few weeks!

Happy Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day!

The 'Autumn Royalty' Azalea continues to bloom profusely.

The Lantanas at the south end of the house are enjoying the warmth of the sunshine and ignoring the cool nights. Our daytime temperatures have been about 65F and the nights around 35F (18C and 2C).

I have been thinking that each bud that opens on the 'Iceberg' Rose is the last one, but here is one more!

The Oxalis is blooming under the shelter of the porch.

And the trees are showing off their Autumn color! This Linden Tree (aka Basswood) is beside my driveway.

For a look at things to come...

My red Spider Lilies will be blooming by this time next week!

Turk's Cap is just beginning to bloom.

I bought this Lantana a few months ago.

My Phlox plants are near the end of their bloom time, but still pretty.

There are still a few blooms on the Dianthus plants.

The Peace Lilies on my front porch rail are full of blooms.

The Butterflies are loving my Butterfly Bush, Buddleia!

And the Encore Azalea is attracting the Butterflies, too.

After walking all around the yard taking photos, I noticed something orange high up in a tree at the edge of our woods. A Trumpet Creeper, Campsis radicans, a native wildflower vine!

Happy Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day!

I hope you have a Wonderful Week!
