... of weather has brought some heavy showers as well as some pleasant sunny spells over the last few days. The lovely warm weather we had last week end has been blown away, but it hasn't been too cold, given it is still February.
This fine specimen of amaryllis was a Christmas gift in 2012 and I was very pleased to see it come into flower again this year. The leaves it had over the summer did not look very strong or vigorous so I was not expecting any further flowers from the bulb. This flower stem has at least three blooms on it, too.
