Little things on my kitchen windowsill that bring me pleasure.
My Moth Orchid was given to me for Christmas 2019 by my lovely grandaughter. It is in its second year of blooming, which pleases me as I'm always terrified of killing orchids off. But it is happy with an eggcup full of water each week and seems to enjoy the windowsill.
I love Amaryllis, particularly the pale pink variety. This was given to me this last Christmas by my 95 year old neighbour, so kind. It is beginning to wake up and loves the sunny window.
Finally my Christmas Cactus, which I have never had great success with. This one loves me, I think, as it is in its second year of full flower. Again, little water seems to suit it best and it enjoys the sun coming into this window.
We have just had another morning of rain so the windows look gloomy.
Although I don't have many houseplants around the house, and prefer my plants to be out in the garden, I do enjoy these windowsill pets.

A little note re my Covid vaccination. Having a 9am appointment was the best thing I could have done as there was no waiting. I didn't feel well for a couple of days after, and am still waiting for my energy levels to ramp up, but it's all worth it! Thank you so much for your prayers and thoughts. It's a strange new world.

Your white orchid is just like mine- I didn't know it was a "moth". So glad the jab went ok - early morning appointments are the best, as the queues haven't built up! Keep safe and well.
Didn't expect you to say you felt a little bit unwell after the jab - -I guess it affects different people different ways but hope you get your strength back quickly :) Lovely moth orchid, I always kill mine off, they go mouldy - I probably over water them!
Glad you have been vaccinated - we have been added to a waitlist and hope to get our first one soon! Hope all will be well soon.
Beautiful orchid - never had luck with them - and your cactus is fabulous, mine still hasn't ever bloomed in the 2 yrs. I've had it!!!! I give it lots of TLC, perhaps that's the problem, and I should just leave it alone. As for your amaryllis - as I said, patience, bright light, and not too much water should pay off soon.
Hugs and love, Mary
Your windowsill pets are obviously very happy with the light and water that you give them. Watering just enough but not too much can be tricky.
Love your windowsill pets, they are gorgeous. Especially the orchid.
Glad your shot went well. It will be at least 5 months before I get mine I think.
God bless.
Thrilled you have been able to get the vaccine, hopefully you won't feel tired for too long. Beautiful plants.
Glad you are doing well (if tired) after the vaccine. You have beautiful plants on your windowsill. I don't think my Christmas Cactus likes me - I had a very few blooms in early December. The orchid is stunning.
Hope you feel a lot better soon, Barbara. It's very cheering to have plant 'pets' and yours are looking great! I only have one houseplant and I am never sure how much to water... I am really busy lately so that's enough for me! He seems to survive anyway.
My Christmas cactus is doing beautifully this year. Lots of blooms over and over again. I love the orchid! I hope you feel better soon.
You are a wonderful plant mama! (I am not, so I always admire those who are.) I am happy that you did not have to wait in a long line for your vaccination and that it went well. Praying that you are quickly recovered from all its effects.
Barbara, oh your flowers are so cheerful! They are enjoying all the sunlight! I am behind in reading and posting. I am glad you were able to get your vaccination. xo
Your window plants are looking so lovely and healthy. Glad they have rebloomed for you. Glad you didn't have to wait in a long line and hope you feel tip top soon!
Your window sill blooms certainly do add colorful cheer to your home. I've had a orchid re-bloom once, but daughter keeps her on the window ledge in her bathroom and has quite a collection of bloomers. I don't do amaryllis because of mother in law--enough said there, and I have 3 gifted Christmas cactus that bloom as long as I remember to water them. As for the vaccine: I've taken my first shot Tuesday. Arm was very sore yesterday. I'll get the second shot Feb.9 Very organized location and no line. I feel better already.
Hello Barbara,
Your plants are doing really well and I loved to see your garden through your window. Even in winter your garden looks so inviting!
Love, Carolien
I just love your orchid! It looks so happy in the window! My Christmas cactus actually blooms around Thanksgiving, and again around Easter. It has gotten huge. They love lots of gentle light. Your plants are very happy indeed! Hope you feel better soon after getting the vaccine!
Your Orchid is stunning! I killed the only one like that I've ever had. It didn't like my house temperature or something. I have another one that is a miniature orchid and it does well in my kitchen window. It's on it's forth or fifth year of blooming.
