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. I brought it inside and placed it in a small bud vase that I bought in New Zealand several years ago. The two together made such a bright spot that I had to post it on Plum Bird Corner. Hope it brings a smile to your face as it does mine.
My Amaryllis is Blooming
On November 13th, I planted an amaryllis bulb and wrote about it. A week later on November 21st, I published an update. to show how it had grown. Please take a look at those posts and you will be amazed to see how quickly the amaryllis grew in a little less than four weeks. Below you can see a photo of the full plant. In my first post I said how the Amaryllis is a wonderful plant to encourage children’s interest in gardening, because it grows so rapidly. It’s not too late, so start an amaryllis growing today.
