I do like the Amaryllis for the beautiful flowers that seem to come up so suddenly! I usually have the green stems growing in my apartment window and every so often I turn and it seems as though the flowers simply appeared! They grow so fast and tall they need some bracing, but then they bloom so beautifully in the window. And I like that they'll usually bloom twice a year and then just give long green leaves until they are ready to go again.
Good Stories, Well Told
“I like a good story well told. That is the reason I am sometimes forced to tell them myself.” — Mark Twain
