Table Gardening



 I have gone a little crazy this winter not having a garden to tend to so I decided to create an indoor tablescape garden. I planted this Amaryllis bulb on
 December 29, 2010 and the first bloom appeared on February 15, 2011.
 It is very majestic!




 inside view of the Amaryllis. The color is magnificent.  





 Inside view of a tulip. I purchased one bunch at Whole Foods one week ago and they are still going strong! The color looks amazing in person. They were grown in Virigina and some of the tulips have two or three additional buds attached to the one stem.

I love this variety but I am really looking forward to French Ruffled Tulips this spring!



 My little slice of  heaven table garden. The succulents were wintered over from last summer and have done pretty well. This orchid is dormant but I am hoping for some new blooms in the fall.




 Hugh does enjoy the color but is always searching for the smallest place
to put a cocktail glass or cup of coffee down.



More two toned tulips---when I see them, I just have to buy them. It really is an addiction! I made some additional space today just for Hugh.....



 My new favorite container---- a glass tubular cylinder with 8 holes for individual flower placement. It makes for an interesting arrangement and is very versatile.


Love Love Love the two toned tulips!

Spring is in the air and on the way!
The days are getting longer and I am eagerly awaiting another beautiful  spring in Marblehead.
