There’s nothing better than blooming flowers in the middle of January. I am so grateful for the people in my life who make sure that my winters are saturated with the colors and smells of summer! I received two bouquets of gorgeous flowers for my birthday that have opened up and done really well (considering they’re cut) and also, I’ve been waiting since just before Christmas for this gigantic Amaryllis to bloom that Lisa sent (and I promised pics once they opened!) – they’re SO big and full and just beautiful.
I had a dream just last night – in it, a hummingbird came right up to my face and snuggled my cheek. pffft. That’s how much I miss warm weather! Even Chickeymonkey told me about a dream she had the other night, my office was filled with pink, white and purple roses and tulips. There were “flowers EVERYwhere!” she said. I LOVE HER. Aaah. It’s just a few months away, right? All the bulbs I planted last fall combined with everything I planted the year before, the hummingbirds and I will be loving our daily breaks in the backyard!
Enjoy!!

Very pretty!
I’ve found that if I cut off the pollen carefully from my amaryllis that the bloom will last a bit longer…they tend to close up as soon as they’re pollenated.

Beautiful shots!
Do you submit any work to stock photography sites. I have an account with iStock, though it’s been a while since my last submittal (I need better equipment).
Anyway, I have a friend who’s almost making a full time salary with the submittals he’s made, and the download demand he’s receiving.
Beautiful pictures! It looks like it was late afternoon when you took them (based on the angle of the light)?
