The Dahlia bud invokes this intense sense of anticipation. How did you know the names of all these flowers anyway?
LikeLike
I just do. Actually I live in an area that is rich in flower farms and gardens. So it is easy to learn their names.

Okay. Here’s your last thunbergia for the year. You gave up on Poinsettias before I gave up on thunbergia! Yours are all gorgeous today. https://judydykstrabrown.com/2016/12/16/stuck-in-a-groove-thunbergia-flower-of-the-day-dec-16-2016/

Beautiful! In a few months they will be back to visit. In the meantime it provides anticipation of what is to come and when. Last year the poor magnolia blossomed and then cold and snow returned. Their little buds remained unopened all summer into the fall. Still decorating the tree in winter, so I sit in anticipation of what is to come next spring. Will they fall off during the winter months or bloom in spring.

Now you are really building a lot of anticipation for your magnolia. 😀

Yep, I know the feeling. I do have some paper whites and amaryllis I’m starting to grow. They should be blooming sometime in January. I waited to start them so we’d get some real flowers in the coldest winter months.
