Each morning when I get up, the amaryllis awaits me at the foot of the stairs, sitting on a plant stand facing the window. When the sun begins to pinken the sky, the amaryllis will have a first glimpse of the light. The sun is coming up sooner and sooner each morning, a welcome sign of Spring. We are tantalizingly close to a bloom on the bulb. Even as the cold tightened its grip on us this month, the flower determined to show itself.
One morning soon the bulb will bloom, a most welcome development as this bitterly cold Winter considers releasing its grip on us.
