I keep thinking that I don't have enough pictures on here. It really comes down to the fact that I don't get them off of my camera and edited very often.
I received this amaryllis as a gift at Christmas! I love to get live plants as gifts! Cut flowers just wilt and die. If I can keep it alive a plant can last for years! I also love the challenge of trying to get an amaryllis to bloom a second time.
I took this picture to show how tall the flower stalk is. I guess it is still kind of relative, since Belle is little.
Speaking of keeping plants alive. I am usually really good at this, but I have a plant that I got some really poor potting soil for and it has just suffered. The soil clumped together and it couldn't get and keep water as it needed to. It was a jade plant and it was huge and beautiful! After that soil, it drooped and looked awful! I have several starts from it, so I decided to get rid of it. I took several weeks or maybe months to finally dump it. I just couldn't bring myself to do it! I didn't want to kill that plant. Now that I have, I feel bad. I feel guilty for killing that poor plant!! (I learned not to buy cheap potting soil!)

I came over from LDS Blogging Women. That is a gorgeous. (The girl too!) Plants don't last in my house, mine are all silk. But, that is a stunning bloom.
Wow, that is BIG beautiful plant!!! And I love Belle next to it. So cute!!!
wow that things huge! Nice pictures too.
Beautiful (you are a very good photographer, keep the pictures coming.)
Cute baby too!
I kill everything I touch. The flowers see me coming and they scream and uproot themselves and wriggle away...*sigh* And I SO love plants. Why am I unable to keep them alive? I've killed just about every plant there is to kill in a pot--except for a pathos, which are nearly impossible to kill.
Wow, I wish I could get an amaryllis to go. Or some hyacinth...I love grape hyacinth...when it isn't dead, that is.
Wow, it is beautiful. I simply do not have that kind of patience. The only plants I grow are the ones that don't seem to want to die (Though my thyme plant looks half dead).
