Our Magic Lantern Tea Rose
It’s been a cloudy day. We were out front of our house finishing the Christmas decorating when I spotted a lone blossom on our Magic Lantern tea rose.

Please take a look at the original post to see how it all began.
There is still time to plant amaryllis bulbs, so hurry and find some at your local garden nursery, and you will have beautiful flowers in time for the holidays.
