For the past month, I've been enjoying my four amaryllis bulbs in bloom...
The first flowers have finished blooming - but more growth is on the way.
This bud is ready to bloom...
And a few days later, it did!
These two bulbs are growing new shoots. I really need to cut back the previous, now-shriveled flowers.
In another part of the house, my one and only orchid - whose little buds first appeared weeks ago - is finally beginning to bloom. It was sitting there so long, with nothing visibly changing that I was wondering if our house was too cold or too dark for the flowers to develop. Or maybe I had forgotten to water it and damaged the developing buds??!
So this is an encouraging sign!
