Our Blooming Indoor Plants in April

 Of course I got way behind in so many things but like to show you our blooming indoor plants on bay window sill.

Tiggy Tiger girl posing next to our Stephanotis Floribunda or Madagascar Jasmine.

And yes, those are the golden yellow pansies that Pieter planted in late November...

We purchased this at Trader Joe's last year so it bloomed a 2nd year and how many fragrant blossoms...

Believe me, having breakfast, lunch and supper with such a view is heavenly!

A very rewarding plant!

Pieter bought me this white orchid... his last ever indoor plant brought home for me!

Our now 9 year old Amaryllis blooming

The morning light is glorious...

This Amaryllis now has been planted outside, adjacent to our bay window so next year I can see it blooming there.

Showing you how HUGE this orchid blossom is next to my thumb!

Stephanotis Floribunda two days later and more opened up now

Wish I could transmit their fragrance!

Final blossoms Pieter got to enjoy...

Three Blooms on BABY AMARYLLIS

Just have to share you our BABY AMARYLLIS...

Yep, Pieter did divide a bulb from our 8–year old Amaryllis and LOOK...

3 blooms!

Just like the Mama Amaryllis it got potted into one of our Delft White planters and is rather happy and look, another baby is developing on the side!

Both images are from April 17 around breakfast time.

This I took at breakfast time on April 18, the 3rd flower is almost open.

This I took today, April 19—from above to show you its 3 blooms!

What a loyal bloomers those Amaryllis bulbs are.

Have you ever had any babies growing on the side of your Amaryllis?

Our 8 Year Old Amaryllis with 7 Blooms

 Just have to share with you our Amaryllis from 2016—YES 8 YEARS!!!

On March 18, on our kitchen bay window sill where Pieter had put the big Delft white planter with the 8–year old Amaryllis. It was opening its blooms now it had come indoors from our greenhouse.

Our now craquelé cachepot...

TWO stems with buds and blooms.

Lovely stamens...

Hard to capture its four blooms and buds...

March 20, at breakfast time in the sunshine...

March 20, from a different angle...

Also March 20, and you see that the second stem shows a huge bud!

March 21—all four are fully open now and the new stem is progressing to show flowers.

Only 3 days later the 2nd stem now shows 3 buds that open with the other four still there.

March 29, all three buds fully open and the other buds are all cut off as they quickly started to wilt away.

Quite a SHOW for 11 days and we enjoyed them during breakfast time as that was with the perfect light!
