SHOW ME THE WAY TO AMARYLLIS

This lovely amaryllis started flowering at Christmastime and just goes on and on. The snow lies on the ground outside, the ice is everywhere but this bit of colour provides a wonderful contrast.

The pot is resting on a brown hand painted plate from Bulgaria that was a gift from Dave and Judith when they had been 'doing Europe' about 30 years ago.



The petals are getting so heavy that I have had to cut the stems and keep them in a vase of wtaer. The sun continues to shine; the temperature has been just below (or well below) freezing all week!

Those amaryllis are truly a gift of spring in winter. Very pretty pictures.
