Happy GBBD 2013!!

Well I couldn't start the new year missing the first 2013 GBBD!!   
Unfortunately, I am at home so posting what I have in bloom here at the house, which is not much...
 The Cyclamen are in full bloom all out front and in the back and are beautiful.  I love the red, at least for here at the house.  It is such a vibrant pop of color and I think stunning when planted in mass.
There is nothing else in bloom here- the other day our Potato Vine was blooming but of course when I went outside to snap a shot of it, could not find a single bloom nor could I find one on the Globe Mallow or the Lavender.  So alas, all I have in bloom is the Cyclamen.  
I couldn't just end the post with one photo so you have the pleasure of seeing Ellie in all her glory.  This is not how she typically looks, she is a very sweet lovable kitten, I just caught her yawning and thought it was funny so thought I'd post it.
Hope everyone has a wonderful GBBD and please visit the host of GBBD at  http://www.maydreamsgardens.com   and see all the others that have posted.

    Beautiful red cyclamen. Don't think they're reliably hardy in the ground here but we see them used as winter annuals a lot. Ellie looks fierce!

    We treat them like winter annuals here too. (and in Houston as well.) I love them. Always have. In Houston you see them everywhere- in the esplanades and all over town- here in Austin not so much. But then, Houston really dresses the city up more than here. Ellie is a mess but a lot of fun.

    That's all that is blooming in our house too but inside the sunny kitchen. Outside it is snowing. Your cat's expression made me laugh.

      She's a nut. I love the cyclamen. Always have. I have one in the kitchen as well. They are just happy flowers.

    At least you have a pretty red cyclamen to show off. Everything is white here and the temperatures this week are forecast to be bitterly cold. I love your yawning cat picture. Ellie looks rather like she is belting out something positively operatic.
