Lovely surprise today (amid downpours & cold temps) .... my mom got an Amaryllis bulb at a party before Christmas. I helped her plant it in the enclosed pot and it’s been sitting in the back room (southern exposure). She brought it to me last week and it had a nice green shoot. Today, she pointed it out and it has two red blooms and two more buds! Wow, did it take off fast once it started growing! It’s a cheery reminder on the window sill that winter won’t last forever.

Love the stuff that blooms in winter. We have a Christmas Cactus that has nice red blooms sitting in a window with SW exposure.
