Garden Bloggers Bloom Day December 15, 2011.
The only thing blooming in my house is the yeast. (I’m making bread today)
I killed all my Amaryllis this past summer. But more bulbs arrived today. However, I may not even have amaryllis blooms next month, January, because it will take at least 6 weeks for blooms to appear.
But enough of the pity party. A ring of the door bell, and This sweet poinsettia was standing there in the hands of my sweet neighbor. “You always give me flowers all summer long. So I thought I would give you one today.”
This sweet red poinsettia flower, in a 4" pot, is now sitting on my mantel.
So, my blooms are store bought.
The result of the blooming yeast is here:
Multigrain bread baked in my oven on a pizza stone.
Garden Blogger Bloom Day is a project of Carol at May Dreams Gardens. You are welcome to join. She invites all gardeners to share what is blooming in their garden every month on the 15th.
A wonderful neighbor and home-made bread! Sounds like you’re having a great day!
Christmas blessings to you!

I love this post. It shows the joy of friendship and of fresh bread! What could be better?
We were making bread ourselves here today. And I am waiting for my mother to bring my the poinsettia that she brings me every year. Thanks for your visit to WMG!
Merry Christmas!

ps – I love your quote from Vita by the way.
You killed your amaryllis? Now you sound like me. What a darling neighbor you have!

I’m glad to know I’m not the only one who can kill an amaryllis:) I didn’t even have a poinsettia in time for Bloom Day; what a dear your neighbor is to have brought you one. The bread looks delicious!
The bread looks both beautiful and delicious. Happy New Year!
