Amaryllis Tuesday: March 20

On Sunday afternoon, as the sunlight poured in the southern window, the amaryllis flower began to open.

With each day since, a little more of the flower emerged.

It’s not quite complete, though I should have a flower in the next few days.  That’s good news because the weather forecast  for tomorrow calls for a fourth Nor-easter and another 8-12 inches of snow.  I am weary of Winter, especially today, the first day of Spring.  Time may be on my side, but it doesn’t quite feel that way in today’s chill.  The amaryllis will help me to hold on to the warm prospects coming our way.
