    Beautiful, and a great contrast to the snowy outside view!

    I also have the same amaryllis (Hippeastrum) “Apple Blossom” in bloom right now, but mine has a lot more white; don’t know if the variety isn’t uniform or if it’s due to culture differences. Mine came from a hardware store, so who knows? I love the green centre on both.

    Stunning! I have orchids blooming right now i contrast to our snow covered landscape. It certainly helps a gardener’s mind and soul.

    Gorgeous! I can’t wait for color to come back into our world as spring unfolds. Enough of the browns and grays.

    The flower’s color does create a wonderful contrast, but I’m also wondering about the clump of red in the yard. Lingering berries? Red Osier dogwood stems? Whatever it is, it’s equally lovely.

      Thank you, Linda. That is the flower’s reflection in the glass. But maybe I should think about planting some ‘winter interest’ shrubs there! We cut down the hedge that was out there in Dec. and will be refurbishing that area this spring. Inspiration can be serendipitous. 🙂

    Such intriguing plants to enjoy growing. Taking their time, ’till we enjoy the flowers. (Only saw this because of Wednesday’s post)

    A beautiful amaryllis bloom. A friend gave me a bulb that was incased in a wax base … have you seen them? It was a first for me and it bloomed beautifully.

      Thank you, Denise. Trader Joe’s offered them a couple years ago and my curiosity was peaked. A novelty to try, but I concluded I prefer to plant my bulbs in soil. 😉
