What’s a perfect Christmas Gift for Empty Nesters
that are trying to downsize their possessions?
The answer...a flowering plant.
It has been fun to nurture and watch this beauty grow
in this frigid winter weather in the Dakotas.
The Fed Ex delivery arrived in early December.
There were two pots, like this, in a basket, in the box.
I watered it and kept an eye on it for days.
This is how they started at White Flower Farms on the East Coast.
And then, there were sprouts, and then stalks, and then buds.
The tallest was all of a sudden
almost two feet tall!
I started getting little hints as to what color was inside.
Oh, the anticipation...
Now, there’s another bud ready to burst open to share its beauty.
...along with another baby sprout peeking out of the moss.
I’ve never had a green thumb,
so I am pretty proud of myself and
how our Amaryllis is thriving.
The Amaryllis symbolizes a strong, confident, beautiful woman.
The star shaped blossom also symbolizes pride.
Thank you, Bob and Becky, for this bright spot of color
to cheer us up during these cold weeks of January.
Take care,
~Natalie
