Ever since I was little, we've had a potted amaryllis during the winter. I remember being in awe of how tall they grow before blossoming. It was also such a lovely pop of color in the midst of the cold winter.
When I planted this amaryllis 23 days ago, I never imagined it would be the bright, living contrast against the snowy world I now reside in.
ps. thank you ima for the amaryllis! It's saving my sanity!
And! Come link up and join the Good.Random.Fun. each Monday, right here!

Those are beautiful flowers, aren't they. I had one once.
It's hard to watch what's going on up there. Glad you found a bright spot!
There can't be any place in the US more anxious for Spring that you folks in Boston. What a winter. Your flower looks like it's just about to open.
I bet that bit of green is the thread to your sanity with all that snow. Can't wait to see its bloom.
love that!
It's always nice to have some living greenery during the harsh winter months! How fun to watch it grow! We've given them out to teachers over the years. I need to get one for us some time!
Very beautiful plant! Exquisite pictures!
Spring is coming...it always does. And you'll get to experience a bit of it here in PDX this weekend. It would be fun to meet you and just say a quick hi...
oh oh Tamar, I love amaryllis! These snaps are a "hope" alright. Too bad you have sooooo much snow.
Your fingernail preference is similar to my Mom's. She always claimed she felt 'smothered' with fingernail polish on. lol
Love the top down shot. Spring just seems so far away.
Love the beauty and simplicity of your photos!
Happy Weekend coming to you,

AND...the truck left Fenway for spring training today!! These pics are very pretty! I keep telling myself I need some plants in the house - just haven't gotten around to it yet. Did get some beautiful yellow roses (my faves) tonight from the hubs - that'll do for a bit! ENJOY your trip! Say hi to beautiful Oregon for me!! So glad you're flying on the ONE DAY without a storm!!
I hope it blooms a bright red, that would really show up against all your snow. They sure have gorgeous flowers.
They are beautiful aren't they? Here we can plant them outside in the soil and they bloom late summer early autumn.
A beautiful reminder that life goes on...and thrives.
Nice reminder that another season is coming and its gonna be a beautiful one!
Nothing quite like the force of nature, determined to push on regardless of the harsh surroundings

Stay sane...spring will arrive!
How exciting!!! Spring will definitely be here before you know it.
I love any bulb that blooms in winter. It does help us hang on for better days ahead. A simple flower can really cheer! Wishing you a break from the white wall of winter.
