Rebekah's kindergarten teacher gave me this beautiful amaryllis plant last year and when it bloomed last January, Rebekah was so excited! After a few weeks of beautiful brightness, the flower wilted, I assumed the plant was done, and I was going to plant something different in the pot. Rebekah was certain it would bloom again, and didn't want me to dig the small brown root up. This pot sat around all Spring, Summer and Fall of 2012, with very little, if any signs of life in the dry soil. Then about three weeks ago, the stem suddenly began to grow taller and greener, and within a few days there was no doubt that it was on it's way to blooming again this Winter. Since taking this photo, 4 bright blooms have opened up, they are huge. The pretty red color is so cheerful, it brightens up our window sill on these cold and gray snowy days!
