Amaryllis


Here is the latest picture of my amaryllis. The stalk that was there for blooms just withered and died and now the new foliage is going up.

snow 2-12-2010




This is what I woke up to this morning in Upstate South Carolina. It is such a pretty snow.
The picture of the trees shows my erosion bundle. I posted about the erosion bundle in an earlier post. An erosion bundle is a bundle of art supplies left outdoors in the elements all winter and then you bring it inside and make an art project out of the weathered supplies. We have between 4 and 5" of snow. The temperature is supposed to get to 42 degrees today so I'd better enjoy it quickly.

Amaryllis


Here is how my amaryllis looks today. There is a nice healthy looking bunch of leaves going up beside the bigger stalk.
