Isn't it always the case that, as soon as you post your photos for Garden Blogger's Bloom Day, a wonderful something or other pops into bloom? For today's Wednesday Vignette, I have photos of 2 plants that deserve their moment of glory.

| The Hippeastrum papilio (aka Butterfly Amaryllis) bulbs I planted in a hanging basket in late November are blooming! Or at least 2 of the 3 bulbs are. One has a second bloom stalk too. The Lotus berthelotii I planted with them aren't flowering on the same schedule but I'm still thrilled. I'm going to plant these in the ground after they've faded to see if I can get them to naturalize. |

| These aren't actually new blooms but rather blooms that have shifted in color within the last week. This is the larger of my 2 Leucadendron 'Wilson's Wonder' shrubs. The yellow bracts surrounding the cones have taken on a decidedly rosy color. The color shift is more pronounced than in prior years and more evident in this plant than its smaller counterpart. |
