This is the very first bromeliad bloomed for me in my new garden (not counting those that were already in blooming when I purchased from the store). It natuarally becomes one of my favorites for this month. This is a pass-along plant from my friend. I was told that it is an ornamental pineapple, with red color, and won't grow much larger than the one in the picture except that the flower spike will be stretching taller. Any idea what is its name?
Red and pink flowers are most appropriate to be my favorites of the February, for Valentine's Day, as well as Chinese New Year celebration. (Dragon Wing Begonia, Petunia, Stock and Red Geranium).

I can not forget those "little" flowers that have been adding interests and life to my winter garden.
Blue Salvia has not stopped blooming since last November. I love the pureness and the smile face of the white voila. The dwarf chenille plant seems very happy tucked under the sago plam tree with their red fuzzy flowers. The purslane is another non-stop bloomer in my garden.

My most favorite of this month has to go to the Double Delight Rose I newly purchased this month! These are the same flower in their different stages, can you tell the order? The color changes from creame white, to red, and to crimson as the bud unfolds.

I can not believe February is almost to the end... Spring should be just around the corner now!
