My amaryllis is still blooming, 4 flowers on its 3rd stem. This was a really hearty bulb. This flower stem is 26" tall and very sturdy. The bud to the left of the flowers is on last year's bulb. You can see it is almost as tall already and is almost ready to open. Here is a larger than life size picture of 2 buds on my Christmas cactus, one almost ready to open. I am going to have 10 or more blooms this year, which is the most this plant has ever produced.
I'm sorry I didn't put the author's name on yesterday's post for "The Shack". It is by Wm Paul Young.
