At my kitchen window is this paperwhite bulb in a jar of rocks. It was very slow to sprout but when it did it grew over an inch a day. I was measuring with my thumb. Now it has a bud preparing to open.
And look the amaryllis that I showed before put up another flower stalk with this swollen bud preparing to open soon. The last one produced seven flowers in all. I can't tell how many flowers will be in this one. Stay tuned for the reveal.

My amaryllis continues to delight and amaze me. o good to have growing, blooming plants at this time of year!
...I just cut off our second flower stalk. When it warms up I will built the bulb in my garden and then bright it in again in the fall.
My paperwhite is long gone. I love the potential of that bloom!
Those windows must give you perfect light.
There is nothing more lovely than flowers in winter.
Sigh... I remember growing paper whites and amaryllis when we were living in Illinois. I loved the fun of waiting for them to bloom.
