Description

I think Mom was given this beautiful flower for her last Christmas on this earth. I think her cousin sent it to her. It was a really sad time, my dad had just died and Mom was alone in her apartment at their retirement center. It was a splash of cheer and I'm sure it made Mom smile when she looked at it. I remember looking at it when I would visit her and we would reminisce about so many things. I remember doing an interview of her to try to get as many memories written down, for we both knew there wasn't much time.

She died two months later and many of her belongings moved into my home. Of course, the amaryllis was one of those treasures. I have kept it for six years now and have never had a bloom come from it. So, it is hard to express just how excited I am to finally have this glorious display. It was well worth the wait!

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!
