| Amaryllis. Native to South Africa, they are now cultivated all over the world. |
Every year at holiday time I like to buy amaryllis bulbs. There is something magical about the way the bulb suddenly springs to life, producing a green shoot that grows almost visibly day by day and then blossoms into gigantic flowers. Last year one of my plants timed its flowering perfectly for Christmas, with blooms so heavy it had to be supported so it didn’t topple over. When it finished blooming, the leaves continued to grow, renewing the bulb for another season.
Christmas is a time of renewed hope and celebration. I am looking forward to celebrating with family and friends and I send you
best wishes for a very
Happy Holiday Season
and Joyous New Year!
