Amaryllis 'They' said it would bloom by Christmas,
But all it did was grow very tall,
Then it finally bloomed in the New Year,
Which is better than not blooming at all!

About Me
- Sunny
- I was born in my grandmother's old mill house in Cornwall, England and came to the USA with my parents in 1958. My Dad was in the RAF and as a child I lived in many different locations in England and even the Rock of Gibraltar.
Massachusetts has always been home in the US except for a brief period when I resided in Idaho, giving me a chance to explore the Great American West.
For nearly 30 years I lived on Cape Cod before my husband and I moved back to the mountains* of Massachusetts with our Goldendoodle Lucy, and our cats, Lilly and Molly. I am also the mother of a grown son.
*Some of you would call them hills but they're mountains to me!
THANKS SO MUCH-PLEASE ENJOY!

What a wonderful way to start the new year - with a beautiful bloomer. They really brighten up a gray gloomy winter day.
I love growing Amaryllis. It's exciting to watch as the long green swordlike stem gets taller and taller, then poof, it opens it's incredible blooms. They can be grown as houseplants when the blooms are gone, & then put outside in the summertime. In fall put the tuber in a dark place for a few weeks, & it will then bloom again next year! :)
Superbe !
Quelle couleur !
bonne journee ;O)
What a vibrant and beautiful red!Fascinating flower!

If they look like this one - it is much better than not blooming at all.
It sure started your new year off with a "pop" of color!! Pretty!
To pick a flower is so much more satisfying than just observing it,
or photographing it ... So in later years, I have grown in my
garden as many flowers as possible for children to pick.
My Amaryllis is slow this year. It's getting there but I think it's aiming for Easter. My neighbour buys me one every year and they're usually in full bloom by New Year. It's a lovely photograph, Sunny.
It is beautiful!
I'll take the "Better than not blooming at all" any day.
Beautiful colors, and now you get to enjoy it a little longer in the new year ;)
Love the poem.
I love it! The words and the photo.
Maybe it's better that way, a center stage for it's beauty!
A very good omen for your new year, I think.
Red is my favorite color and this is Ruby Red and very beautiful.
It is beautiful...I just love those..
Late but still beautiful. That is a very happy looking flower. :)
Blooming New Year, EH!.lol.
Holy shnikeys! It's so bright it almost hurts my eyes... but in a really good way! LOL
This is beautiful. Flowers always make me think of warm... ahhhh, warm. I remember warm...
:o) Have a wonderful day!
Beautiful shot. Our's must have set in the store for a long time as it shot up and bloomed so quickly. Son and wife bought us on for Christmas, and it just sits there. No growth spurt, nothing. I like how your camera picked up the red color.
Oh, it is beautiful. Much better to bloom now that all the excitement and color of Christmas is past. If that doesn't lift your mood, I don't know what will!
What a beautiful amaryllis! I agree that it is better late than never.
It's gorgeous... no matter when it blooms!!!

That flower looks like that NOW? WoW! How beautiful is that?!?!!!
Mine was long done by Christmas. Phot is on my Glennis's Other Blog. Amarlyis are just so beautiful and last a good while.
Lovely bloom.
Gosh! What a strikingly beautiful flower! You did a fantastic job of getting such detail. Have a wonderful weekend, and thank you for leaving such appreciative comments for me!
