Beauty in a Rainy Day




It has been raining here forever. We haven't had a break in a long time. Sometimes you just have to search out the beautiful things in life. My Mother-in-law gave her two daughters and daughters in law bulbs of these pretty amerylis during Thanksgiving weekend. By Christmas only two out of four of us had planted them. Oops. I am not much of a planter. This past summer I went for fake flowers. The curb appeal was just fine for me. So not being a planter myself I didn't plant mine. When she visited for X-mas I tried to hide the bulb package in hopes she wouldn't remember. It only took her about 30 min. and she remembered. She planted if for me and late in Feb. this baby popped open. It truly is beautiful! I wonder how long it will last. I have taken up shop in my dining room/living room so I have it in there now.
