The Lady Awakens






We purchased this amaryllis as a bulb about seven years ago and it has survived all the subsequent traveling we have done. It blooms once a year, every year and seems to be getting bigger all the time. By the time it is finished it will have four big beautiful red trumpets. The last trumpet will come out after we get to the coast. After it goes dormant again we will finally have to split the bulb. Then we'll have two of these beautiful flowers.

We will be leaving for Winchester Bay, OR tomorrow for about two weeks of hopefully productive crabbing and socializing with friends. We are really looking forward to having fresh crab every day!

And she's beautiful! By the looks of the last picture she looks like she is already split into two plants? Am anxious to see her in all her glory.
