Something New

When I was in elementary school and beyond I had a garden through the schools (Benjamin Franklin in Cleveland, Ohio).  We grew all sorts of vegetables and flowers and I continued my love of flowers and growing things throughout my life (ask my husband about the 23 tomato plants someday). But I never grew an amaryllis or paper white until my neighbor bought me one this week claiming how cool it will be at Christmastime. So I took the plunge, read the box and planted the big bulb. I'm curious to see it grow!

BSoleille!  The bright side of a new thing!

  1. My mother and her boyfriend kept a ruler next to the plant so they could measure how much it grew EVERY day.
