Unfurled




Last year, I confessed the neglectful way I had treated an Amaryllis plant which is actually a Hippeastrum. It continues to sit on the windowsill above the kitchen sink and we have been attending to it. Apparently the Hippeastrum is quite satisfied and this year has rewarded us by adding two additional blooms to last year’s three!

I am duly humbled.
