TRIALS & TRIBULATIONS OF GARDENING!!



About 1 year ago I bought an amaryllis plant. I did not plant it out side. Instead, I put it in a bright, window, facing east, and occassionally watered it!! Two months ago, I checked on it - it kind of looked dead - except that there was one lonely green leaf about 4 inches high sticking up!!! Oh my, I did not kill it!! Wonders will never cease!!

So, I trimmed back the dead foliage, watered it, stuck it back in the window - & virtually forgot about it!! That is, until, yesterday, when I started to clean that room. This is a room which is not often used!! I decided to check on the plant, & to my astonnishment, there 2 flowers blooming, and one more to come!!! I dedcided to bring it out of hiding & put it in my living room!! What joy it is bringing!!
