Yes I’ve seen some people have beautiful success with their geraniums overwintering — and blooming — inside. So pretty!

My sister overwintered annual geraniums in a pot sitting in her kitchen window. It was the craziest thing. They wouldn’t stop blooming.

Well then, I’d say if we like the same plants — we both have good taste! 🙂 I’m sure it is hard missing your old garden. We redid our landscaping a few years ago, and I miss a pretty Star Magnolia tree that we had. I hope to plant hellebores and grape hyacinths along with snow drops in the Fall…plus more daffodils too. I had a piano teacher when I was a little girl who overwintered her annual geraniums in a giant picture window. They got sun and sometimes bloomed at odd times out of season. You reminded me of this sweet memory!

I love your photos, the color wheel and the test tube floral display with the blue water are both very interesting. I had red twigged dogwoods and a serviceberry in my old garden, the birds loved it. I really miss my garden, we live in a rental now with just a patch of shade, hellebores grow very well here. I will look for the upward facing ones and the blue grape hyacinth bulbs. Did you hear you can overwinter annual geraniums if you lift them and pack them in moist peat moss in a dark cabinet? The challenge for me was forgetting to keep them moist, I don't know if it works but I want to try again. Wishing you a Happy spring!]]> Wowie😀 Laura we like a lot of the same plants!
