XMAS IN SPRINGTIME

 

I woke up to this surprise today when I opened the patio door.

These gorgeous amaryllis blooms that must have been buds yesterday.

I must admit they were partially hidden beneath some other leaves

 that I pulled away to get this shot.

What's funny is I don't remember planting this variety,

 but I'm thrilled that I did.

And usually my indoor amaryllis bloom at Xmas time, right??

Maybe this is a spring bloomer?

But who cares,

these would be lovely to capture in watercolor.

One day.

Ha!
