I love your photo of them. I like your list. I am so excited to see when my hellebores bloom. I just hope they do this year.<br /><br />I am like you, in that the reason I have plants inside is so they can have a place to be until they go outside when spring weather comes.Corner Gardener Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10631500918579405664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7113123529932691813.post-27194917585816776272010-01-15T09:40:13.371-06:002010-01-15T09:40:13.371-06:00I'm with you, I'm generally not a housepla...I'm with you, I'm generally not a houseplant fan. The ones that make it inside are just temporarily hiding out from the weather they can't handle.

I suppose I could have posted my violets, but I am even growing tired of them. I do have a few houseplants that I put outside in the summer to grow strong and green again after being cooped up in the house all winter and not having enough sun. They do help with the garden withdrawl symptoms. :)beckiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06400859161321357279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7113123529932691813.post-2974265084067950612010-01-13T16:37:45.514-06:002010-01-13T16:37:45.514-06:00Stunning photo, Tina!
