Amaryllis Macro Monday

Macro Monday is easy to play, snap a macro (or any close-up) photo, post it on your blog and come back here and sign MckLinky. :) MM started on Sept 29, 2008 - THANX to all of you for helping make it such a fun start to the week!

PLEASE pray for my hometown, Joplin, MO. A horrible tornado went through there and demolished much of what I knew for 30+ years of my life. :( My family is all ok, one is now homeless, but all are still alive.

Macro Monday winter blooms

I am really enjoying my first Amaryllis.  And Valentine's Day seemed like a good time to share the gorgeous red blooms.  Happy Valentine's day!

The blooms are a nice splash of color against the dreary winter.

I also extremely excited with my hibiscus plant deciding to bloom. Woohoo! Color!

Amaryllis ~ Macro Monday #123

I had to poke the camera in my first Amaryllis bloom. No doubt. : )  I didn't realize the stalk put out more than one bloom.  I'm loving the burst of color amongst all the white.  But, what do I do with the bulb when it's done blooming?

PS - We are on vacation currently so I won't be visiting anyone until we make it back home. Enjoy the week! :)

Amaryllis

I have never tried my hand at the Amaryllis bulbs because I didn't figure I would have any luck. But, they had them on sale and it was already poking out of the box, so. . .

Viola! I did it! :)

My Photographer's Assistant, lol.

PS -Anyone live in (or visit) New Orleans?  We're planning a trip - any tips for us?
