the week he was born




I don't know if I posted about this. My brain seems to have a re-run button it keeps hitting lately. But the day Carver was born was special. Our amaryllis decided to bloom a flower. Not just one flower, but two! They are sooo much more beautiful in person. They usually only bloom 1-2 times a year if that.
"Amaryllis-One of a Kind
Of all flowering bulbs, amaryllis are the easiest to bring to bloom. This can be accomplished indoors or out, and over an extended period of time. The amaryllis originated in South America's tropical regions and has the botanical name Hippeastrum. The large flowers and ease with which they can be brought to bloom make amaryllis popular and in demand worldwide. The amaryllis comes in many beautiful varieties including various shades of red, white, pink, salmon and orange. There are also many striped and multicolored varieties, usually combining shades of pink or red with white."
Anyway, Had to share these 2 beautiful blooms again. At least Carver won't die off and have his leaves turn yellow; have to be stored in a fridge for 6 weeks! HA! lol
