Blooms bursting in my garden on a chilly December day...

It's been chilly here in Central Texas.  If you call 50s and 60s chilly, and we do.  All the potted tropicals and succulents are in the greenhouse with night time heaters running.



But the garden is still full of flowers - invigorated by lots of rain and cooler days.

I'm not spending time in the garden right now, so when I went to water the greenhouse plants this morning, I decided to bring some of these amazing flowers inside so I can enjoy them more.

I gathered Lion's tail, celosia, indigo spires salvia and coneflowers and made a beautiful bouquet for my kitchen island.  There are many other blooms in the garden.

I might just bring in something else tomorrow.

    That's one vibrant and beautiful bouquet, Diana! You ought to join in on "In a Vase on Monday", hosted by Cathy at Rambling in the Garden, a UK blogger.

    P.S. I also consider temperatures in the 50s and 60s chilly, if not downright cold. We've had daytime temps in the 60s just a week after highs near 90F. It's a shock to the system!

    Thanks, Kris. When I posted that last night I was thinking of you and your pretty posts and planned of looking for that meme today - now you've saved me the work. Thanks - Happy Wednesday!

    that is an awesome bouquet. If I picked some flowers from my garden, they'd all look like little sad weeds pulled up by kids.
