Surprise

Every summer I put my amaryllis outside in a well protected corner of the garden.
Same corner every year.
They get some sun and whatever water Mama Nature gives them.
This has NEVER happened to them before.
I was puttering around after supper and noticed THIS redness in That corner.
Too bad I hadn't been paying closer attention or I would have rescued them before the earwigs made a feast of their lovely blooms.
There are four others but I see no evidence of budding.
I will be more diligent!!



Have an amazing day!!

I don't like earwigs...they look like mini scorpians.

We had earwigs in California, but gladly not here. I had a red Amaryllis at Christmas so this is a happy memory!
