But nothing like taking home a plant you think will be nursed back to health only to find it totally dead a day or two later.<br /><br />Your Amaryllis photos are so gorgeous!

LOL! Then again on some days I do not care.LOL!<br />I cannot believe you have snow already girl. I guess gardening is over for you now and getting the snow shoes out is a must.<br />My amaryllis bulbs are in the dark basement after bringing them in from outdoors. It is almost time to bring them out. I love them in the winter and I am hoping they will bloom this winter. Yours are always so pretty.
