Yngste sønnen har denne flotte utsikten mot Skrimfjellene. Sol og blå himmel er veldig fint!
Denne Phalaenopsis orkidéen fikk jeg til jul i fjor, og den har blomstret uavbrutt siden da.
Denne fikk jeg til jul i 2024, og den begynte å blomstre på nytt i fjor høst. Det er utrolig hvor lenge de kan blomstre når en får de til å blomstre på nytt.
Jeg har vist denne tidligere, men synes det er morsomt å vise frem at julestjerner/ Poinsettia kan leve lenge etter at julen er over.
Denne blomstrer også på nytt nå.
I går ble det strålende sol og + 8 grader her. Jeg var da ute og matet fuglene, og hørte veldig fin kvitring fra fuglene. Jeg er bedre på å kjenne fuglene ut fra utseende enn fra fuglesangen de lager , så brukte jeg appen Merlin Bird id.
Den sa at det var pilfink/ Passer montanus. Deres bestand har økt kraftig her i de siste årene.
Dette bildet er tatt i januar i år. Pilfinkene er her hele året, så det gir mening at det er de jeg hører akkurat nå. Trekkfuglene har ikke kommet enda.
Dear Marit!
SvarSlettWhat a truly wonderful view and such a bright blue sky!
You really have beautiful orchids, and that poinsettia is still so beautiful! I used to grow poinsettias for years, but I could no longer get them to have colored leaves. It's so nice to watch the little birds, and luckily the weather has warmed up, which is much nicer for the little birds! Here with us it is sunny too, although sometimes it rains in many different forms.
All the best to You!
Hugs!
Dear Saila!
SlettYes, the view is very nice there, and the weather was so nice yesterday. Thank you very much. Yes, my poinsettia has lasted a very long time, and the white bracts are still on. Where I lived before, I had a separate room with lights that were set to 10 hours of light and 14 hours without light. I got them to bloom again. It was a lot of fun.
Yes, that's absolutely true, because now the temperature is better for them too.
March always gives us very varied weather, and that's how it always tends to be. It's the beginning of the end of winter!
All the best to you!
Hugs!
Hello,
SvarSlettPretty sky capture. You have a nice collection of birds there. I love all your orchids, they are lovely. Take care, enjoy your day!
Hello Eileen,
SlettYes, they are here every day. Thank you. Take care, and have a great day!
Skønt med orkidéerne, jeg tør slet ikke efter jeg har fået lus i dem, men jeg nyder dine i stedet.
SvarSlettKlem
Tusen takk. Jeg fikk det jeg også, men jeg tror at de er borte nå. Har sprayet de med all verdens sprayer.
SlettKlem
Så fine billeder, Marit - dine orkideer er utroligt flotte. Skovspurven har vi her i Nordsjælland hele året.
SvarSlettKlem fra Gitte 🥰
SlettTusen takk, Gitte. Ja, den er her hele året også, og det begynner å bli veldig mange av de her. Den vanlige gråspurven finnes kun i byene og ikke her.
Klem fra Marit 🥰
Such lovely orchids and I have trouble believing or should I say my eyes seeing that you have lovely plants growing in your area in the winter. Amazing.
SvarSlettThe orchids grows in my kitchen Margaret, and not outside in my garden. My climate is too cold for them. In my kitchen they thrive very well. Take care.
SlettFin udsigt, din søn har. Når jeg kigger ud her til morgen, ser jeg et tyndt lag rim, så det må have været frostvejr i nat. Det er imponerende, så blomstervillige dine stueplanter er.
SvarSlettJa, den utsikten er veldig fin. Det har du helt rett i, og her var det - 6 grader i natt. Så vi må nok beregne å ha frost i flere uker tror jeg. Ja, de blomstrer så fint her, men så har jeg også veldmange vinduer så de får godt med lys.
SlettHej Marit!
SvarSlettDu har vackra orkidéer, jag var till vårt fina trädgårdscenter som har massor av fina orkidéer och andra blomster, senare på våren säljer de utomhusväxter. Köpte en vacker orkidée med 4 stänglar, tror inte jag klarar av den lika länge som du, men kan njuta av den ett tag. Mina gamla som inte såg så fina ut gav jag till dottern, kanske hon får dem att piggna till.
Ha det gott /Marika
Hej Marika!
SlettTusen takk. Det høres flott ut. Det har vi ikke her, men etter stort gartneri dom har litt av alt. Grønne planter, orkidéer, blomstrende planter, og fra nå av løkplanter og senere alt av uteplanter. Den høres vakker ut. Fire stengler tror jeg nesten ikke jeg har sett. Ja, den får du nok glede av lenge. Ja, det tror jeg er mulig med godt stell.
Ha det godt.
Servus Marit, eine traumhaft schöne Landschaft und ein vielfältiges Vogelhotel.
SvarSlettMeine Orchideen blühen jedes Jahr und ich mag sie auch sehr.
LG aus Wien
Hello Frau Mayer,
SlettThank you. Yes, the view is beautiful. Many birds are here every day, and they need a lot of food when it's winter. That's nice that you like orchids too. They are wonderful plants.
Kind regards from Norway.
Utrolig mange småfugler du har på foringsbrettet ditt. De er så trivelige. Jeg hadde en blåmeis som satt i en buske rett ved meg når jeg satt ute og solet meg i helga. Den kvitret av full hals.
SvarSlettJa, det er veldig mange fugler her. Det er veldig hyggelig å få besøk av de ja. Fuglesangen har virkelig begynt ja.
SlettSo here you go, Marit, spring is already giving you little hints that it is not so far away, and the birds have come to rejoice with you. It is happening here, too. Yesterday the temperature climbed to six degrees with bright sunshine and melting snow, and within a few days it is supposed to get up to fourteen! I shall have to find the suntan lotion and the patio umbrella! Hugs and kisses - David
SvarSlettYes David, spring always comes suddenly. I wouldn't say it's spring yet, but the snow is melting and that's a good sign of spring anyway. It was -6 last night, so winter won't give up yet. Yes, the birds are singing outside, and it's so wonderful to listen to. 14 degrees sounds absolutely wild. I hope there won't be any flooding near you! Here it's sunny and 5 degrees, and I had to put up the doors to the greenhouse because it gets very hot there now that the sun is high in the sky.
SlettHugs and kisses, Marit
Have a nice day!
SvarSlettHave a nice day you too!
SlettDear Marit,
SvarSlettthank you so much for your kind comments – and it's absolutely no problem if you don't reply to a comment right away: I often get around to replying late myself. As you've seen on my blog, things are always very busy here (so there's often not much time for my long blog rounds 😉😅...).
Now, about your latest post – that wonderfully blue winter sky your son photographed is truly a balm. Beautiful flowers, on the other hand, soothe the soul when the sun is reluctant to shine. You clearly have a knack for orchids and poinsettias (I, unfortunately, don't...) – they're all so beautiful!
And the many birds in your winter garden are lovely too. The Merlin app is also very helpful for me in identifying bird calls. (I'm gradually getting better, but I'm still often unsure.) Since you mentioned migratory birds: Edi showed me a newspaper article a few days ago saying that the first stork has already arrived in Marchegg! (That's where we also saw the wild horses.) Yay! 😊👍🏻
All the best, Traude
Dear Traude,
SlettThanks for your comment too!
It gets a bit random when I write a comment, but I often write it right away 😀
You just have to write comments when you have time. That's what's so great about blogging, because nothing gets lost there.
Thank you so much. We've had such great weather lately, and the sky has been bright blue. I really like houseplants, and especially orchids.
Yes, there are a lot of birds here all year round. I feed them a lot, because the winters are hard for the birds here. I think bird sounds can be difficult to recognize, so that app is brilliant. It sounds exciting to see a stork. They don't exist here.
All the best, Marit
I do like to put treats outside for the birds here in Winter too but we don't get snow.
SvarSlettI guess birds like treats anyway. Here I need to feed them all the time when the weather is so cold.
SlettQue lindas se ven tus orquídeas, las mías también están florecidas. Muchos besos.
SvarSlettThank you, Teresa. Many hugs.
Slett
