You Gotta See This
January 26, 2018
There is grace, laced with anticipation, as this stunning amaryllis shows off more beautifully than I imagined. She is a show stopper and to think there are two more stems with flowers coming, I am overwhelmed with gratitude. I will have more of this beauty to watch well into February.
The sweet, charming elegance of a petite double stemmed overachieving soft pink amaryllis is daily eye candy. Six small flowers balance perfectly on her stem, and to think there is still another set of blossoms to come. I am full of awe.
The deep red, shot with white, each petal perfectly outlined, the stamens reaching, swooping elegantly out of the center-this amaryllis is the most beautiful of any I've ever had (which, in reality) is few, but I think I have one that will be hard to top. With her three stems the show will continue for a few weeks to come and I will be watching every step of the way.
Amaryllis watch this year has been a joy and has fulfilled my wildest dreams! Happy Weekend, everyone.
Stunning! I so wish I had gotten one (or four!) this year.

I think your lovely, poetic words are as beautiful as your amaryllis. Simply gorgeous, and I thank you for sharing!

Since I was behind in blog reading, the cuteness and beauty of these posts was truly amazing.

Beautiful, especially after the early disappointment!

Patience has obviously paid off! They are both breathtaking, but that red one is just stunning. What a wonderful plant show for January, the dreary month! I hope you do have blooms well into February, the drearier month.

These are beautiful, and I have 1 bloom that is getting ready to open and a few that are starting to droop. I can't wait to do this again next year.
