Description

I had my beautiful amaryllis sitting out on my screened porch to enjoy the early May sunshine. Ohio is still chilly on most days in May so I still didn't want it sitting outside. It had been raining earlier and I had my big umbrella drying behind it . . . . well, I just loved this bright cheerful scene in a time of mostly gloomy news. I hope this brings a smile to one or two of you!

According to sites online urging you to buy bulbs, of all flowering bulbs, amaryllis are the easiest to bring to bloom. (I evidently do not follow the norm on this.) It took me 6 years to get this one to bloom! This can be accomplished indoors or out, and over an extended period of time. The amaryllis originated in South America's tropical regions and has the botanical name Hippeastrum. The large flowers and ease with which they can be brought to bloom make amaryllis popular and in demand worldwide. The amaryllis comes in many beautiful varieties including various shades of red, white, pink, salmon and orange. There are also many striped and multicolored varieties, usually combining shades of pink or red with white. I am very happy that I persisted and never gave up on this special plant!



Thank you so much for looking at my images. I appreciate that very much.

I am very concerned with our environment and have decided to donate any money I make from any sales of this image to the ENVIRONMENTAL DEFENSE FUND.....because the Earth needs a good lawyer! We all need to speak up and support efforts to protect our environment. We will not get a second chance!
