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.
It is difficult to believe that something so beautiful can come from something so strange looking. It is rather like the story of the ugly duckling.
I received these sailing photos this afternoon from our son and daughter-in-law. Looked like a beautiful Austin, Texas afternoon. Perfect for a sunset sail on Lake Travis. In the second photo you can see the color of the setting sun reflected on the sails.
