My Christmas amaryllis in second (or is this a third?) bloom! I almost tossed it in January when the flowers started to look bad, but then I spotted an another bud there. I calmly snipped the dead parts off and started to wait the next flowers to arrive. And we waited...and waited...and waited... And then, one morning, almost two months after I brought the flower home:
The most beautiful flowers opened! And look, there are more buds still:

This little late-bloomer brings me such a joy every time I see it. I think the flower is also more or less like me: give it love, time and some sunshine, and it'll bloom eventually! It took me this long to figure out (and start) a life I really wanted but hey, I think I'm just about to bloom!
Happy weekend dear friends!
Yours,
Mia

Hi Mia! It's amazing! I remember the feeling when growing amaryllis and finally seeing those huge flowers open! They are so wonderful! Thank you for this beauty in dark Saturday evening!
Have a sunny Sunday! Teje
Hi Teje,
Happy and bright (just like the flowers!) Sunday to you too!

Such a beautiful red flower blooming away there! It must be a very happy amaryllis to have so many buds growing! Sometimes it does take time to find our true creative selves, and then you can start really blooming - as you are now! Have a happy day, Mia, and enjoy your lovely crafting. Helen x
Thank you, Helen!
I am an impatient person (and first one to admit it, too) but I managed to take my time and it all turned great on the end: the flower AND little by little my life. Lesson learned here :)
Have a wonderful and sunny Sunday!
Yours,
Mia
Gorgeous Amaryllis and lucky you getting 3 sets of flowers! I keep mine from year to year but I think after 4 years it's on it's last legs as it's yet to flower this time around even with good feed and light, ho-hum, time to buy a new one :) Bethx
Hi Beth,
I love amaryllis and get one for every Christmas. In many years I have chosen very tightly-closed-buds-one so they really don't open during the festivities. But then we can enjoy them during Jan-Feb!
Have a happy weekend!
Yours,
Mia
