Here we are in the last days before Christmas. Nothing to do but to wait. A couple of weeks ago we dropped by a plant shop so I could admire the lovely flowers. The primroses in the first picture are lovely but I've bought them before and can't keep them alive so I walked past those.
The Amaryllis were all full of buds and very reasonably priced so I chose one...
... and now it is blooming. It has 2 stalks, each had 4 buds and now the first 4 are open. I measured one flower and it is 7 1/2 inches across.
I don't have much to blog about but I did want to drop in and say HI.
As you know, I love all the cute pictures on the internet and can't resist including them here.
I hope you enjoy them too.
How beautiful. I also love the illustrations.
ReplyDeleteYour flowers are so pretty and Christmasy! Enjoy the holiday season!
ReplyDeleteI have an amaryllis to plant and hope it won't topple over like last years! Yours is a super vivid red colour.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful amaryllis! Great choice! The pictures you share are always fun and sweet, a joy to see! Enjoy your waiting time, I’m still working on things! Ha! Seems I’m a good procrastinator. Winter is here! Happy day. Virginia
ReplyDeleteI love amaryllis bulbs, Christmas isn't complete without one growing on the windowsill. Mine have 2 stems a foot tall with an enormous but on each.
ReplyDeleteOh dear, did auto correct fet at the word bud...
ReplyDeleteMy mom gave me an amaryllis last week and it's just beginning to poke out of its bulb. It will be lovely to enjoy the flowers in January when winter seems long.
ReplyDeleteThe little hedgehog and bird on the bench are a sweet image.
ReplyDeleteAmaryllis are such magnificent flowers. Thank you for sharing.
Oh, I love amaryllis, so lovely.
ReplyDeleteThose are very cute pictures.

ReplyDeleteI wish I had the green thumb with Amaryllis that you do, my friend. Your new one is gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteYour amaryllis is thriving! Beautiful flowers and how fun to have it show off for Christmas. Have a Merry Christmas sweet friend.
ReplyDeleteGrandma, save the bulbs because next year you’ll be lucky to have other amaryllis like the one you bought.
ReplyDeleteA hug and Merry Christmas
Beautiful!
