Winter is notoriously gray and wet in Mississippi. But we do get a few days of gorgeous 70 degree weather interspersed with the wet, gray, cold, and windy weather of winter. Thank goodness for that!

This month, my indoor cactus really took off. This is Notocactus ubelmannianus and in the winter, it lives under a grow light in my house and I think it likes it there. This plant really is a showstopper and brings a welcome bit of color into my house.

Near the end of January, signs of spring start to show around my yard. These are a few of my favorites.

January is also when I really start to crave greenery and color in my life. So I bought myself some lovely irises and roses.
