Two pretty flowers! A neighbor had moved last year and graciously willed me several of her plants. She had a tub of these amaryllis that I separated and let breath in some other pots (not too much-they are reported to "like" somewhat crowded potting). This was the biggest bulb of several and I have let it flower indoors. The spread on these flowers are at least 8".
Hello world, and thanks family for the encouragement. We have a new cat-jack-who has joined me in one of my hobbies: birding. We have repeatedly belled him to give the feathered friends more warning, but the sneaky devil is quite adept at hooking it on things so that it breaks away, kind of like it is supposed to, only not so much.
Yesterday our resident brown thrasher couple were grubbing under one of our rhododendrons. We have a window that overlooks our patio on that side that Jack thinks was made for him and bird-o vision. The cascading waterfall I made on the patio is a good attractant, and our woods are home to a wide variety of critters, especially at this time of year and in the fall when all of the tropical and subtropical migrant songbirds pass through.
