| Winter Kill |
After 11 days of below freezing temps with zero or below windchills, we have had 6 days of barely above freezing temps. The last two days have been sunny and warm in the 40's. Melting has started! This photo of my Yuletide camellias shows the damage that the weather has done. This spot gets sun all afternoon, so the ground is visible here, unlike most of the rest of the yard and neighborhood. We could finally get our back door open yesterday after the ice and snow piled up against it melted.

I have several flowers indoors to keep me happy. One of my sons gave me this amaryllis for Christmas. This is the second time it has bloomed with four flowers. It looks like more green stems may produce more blooms.

This amaryllis was given to me for Christmas by another son. It just bloomed this week. It has four blooms with seven more coming. The plant is two feet tall with lots of leaves, so I put it in a chair by a kitchen window so it could get some light. You can see the snow in our back yard behind it.

This is an amaryllis from last year that I kept. It is still alive, but I doubt it will bloom again.
| Valentine flowers |
This is a mixed bouquet of flowers my husband gave me for Valentines day. It hints of coming spring and brightens up the kitchen.

I bought this pot of flowers the week before Valentines day at the grocery store and put it on the kitchen table. Happy Valentines Day to all.
