Your Weekly Amaryllis - Week 5


There is a flower about to bloom and each day for the past week, the prospects have been looking quite splendid.  Seen here before the morning light arrives, the flower is nearly open.


When this flower opens, it will feel like an introduction to Spring.  Over the past weekend, the mild weather (for Winter…..it was in the 40s) had me making bold pronouncements about when the garden would be planted. Mid-April, I announced.  We’ll see how things look come that point.  But right now the February sunlight and clearly lengthening days are making me feel giddy.


It feels like a very nice start to the coming Spring.
