Winter Garden Inside

This blog is named "Lantern's Garden" suggested by my hubs.  I LOVE being outback as soon as the weather warms up and plant any and everything I can.  However, during the winter I don't venture outside much.  So, here are a few pictures of my indoor flowers.  Again, the sun was coming through the front so the pics are dark. 
I have sure enjoyed this Christmas Cactus through the years.  It blooms periodically and is fixing to do so now.  There are many buds ready to burst.  Missed Christmas by a month or so, but will bloom near Valentine's Day!
This yellow flower is a rebloomer and just beginning another round of blooms.
This orchid is looking bare, but on close inspection.....there are a few buds ready to bloom.
Hard to tell, but this is a planter that was given by my ABF class when dad died 1 1/2 years ago.  It is full and doing well (with very little care by me).
My routine is to water once a week, usually on Sat. morning.  I add a few cubes of ice to the orchid while giving a good watering to the others.  I have to say I neglect these more than I give attention, but I do enjoy them when they are blooming!
