It was a busy week for the amaryllis and it looks like a deep red flower is coming my way soon.
I first had an amaryllis in 2000, the year that JT was born. That winter, as I waited for my baby, I watched the amaryllis grow and daydreamed about my growing baby. I recall that the flower had bloomed by the time I went the hospital to have my son. This year’s amaryllis is on schedule to do the same. JT’s 19th birthday is next week; T and I will drive north to take him out for his birthday and I will wonder at how quickly my baby grew up.
There is something about traditions like this that I especially enjoy. This year’s amaryllis is surrounded by other plants, all of them soaking in the Winter sunlight and making my day brighter for it.
