Bloomin'

 I'd like to introduce Phyllis the Amaryllis.

She came to live with me back in December when she was just a dried up bulb in a box er.... I mean cute fat little baby with lots of growth potential. 

Liberal applications of encouraging words, TLC and H2O and look what happened.


Phyllis certainly warms up a cold snowy day with her bright smile. And it's Saint Valentine's Day soon.... the perfect day to wear red, Phyllis's favourite colour.

  5. Phyllis is beautiful. I need to keep my eyes open for more amaryllis. There should be some blooms in different shops around town.
