My paperwhites are still in hiding but the amaryllis have bloomed!!! Aren’t they GORGEOUS!!!
The best thing about them…aside from their beauty is that they were a gift from the young man
that works at the nursery that I frequent. He ran out to my car one day and handed me the bulbs
and said Feliz Navidad!!! Too sweet!!! Angels are among us everywhere!!!
Lots of Love!!!

WOW! Are they gorgeous!! They remind me of candy canes. Love their colors! So glad you shared them. Thanks!
I love the stripes! Definitely need to force some bulbs next year.
What a sweet thing for that young man to do. I've never tried forcing bulbs.. going to see if I can't find some. I'm loving the stripes, reminds me of candy..they are beautiful. What a bright spot they've added to your home. hugs ~lynne~
It is wonderful to see a flower bloom in winter...you are terrific... I am taking a break...but I will pop in to see you.
Worthy of a painting aren't they...just beautiful.

Cathy...so pretty....
Beautiful, Cathy! I miss having one every Christmas but it always seems like an extravagance with all of the other shopping I do. How sweet of that young man!! :-)

Those are beautiful. Are they grown inside or outside. I don't think we have those around here.
I am in love with the color of your amaryllis!
It's funny how exciting it is to watch them bloom.
And what a sweet story. I am glad that you shared that part. There are definitely angels among us.

Oh Cathy! They are beautiful! And how sweet of that young man to give them to you. :)
Sandra
I just love guys like him!
So lovely and lucky you to receive the bulb as a gift from that young man. I use to give one to my Mom and her sisters each Christmas. I gave each one a different color and they would have a race to see whose would bloom first. It made for good phone chatter among the sisters when the weather was snowy and made them think of Spring. So now when I see a beautiful amaryliss I think of my Mom and Aunts and smile:)
Cathy, they are beautiful! Thanks for brightening a Winter day.
:) Tracy
Yes, they really are blooming! They are gorgeous, and how nice that the bulbs were a gift! I bet he's enjoyed your sweet smile and your kindness often enough that he wanted to give something back to you. laurie
There's just nothing like fresh flowers. Adds instant beauty to any room! Amaryllis are one of my faves!
Hey, thanks for checking out my blog today! I'm so excited you found me and now I've found you! (:

Gorgeous flowers ~
They are so pretty, Cathy!
Flowers in Winter ! This is so awesome, makes spring seem much closer.
They are beautiful, but so is the friendship that "bloomed" when he gave them to you!

Cathy,
Oh I LOVE amaryllis, one of my favorite things about Christmas is the paperwhites & amaryllis. This year I blew it tho. I did my paperwhites, but I had trouble locating good amaryllis bulbs so I never got around to it. Yours is wonderful. Do you put them in the garden when they are done blooming? I do, & they surprise me every spring when they poke their little heads out. Lisa
Oh those are gorgeous! Well worth the wait! I'm glad you stopped by. Since I moved my blog list to it's own page I feel like I've been missing people. I'm thinking about moving it back so I don't miss out on so much. I love the photo of the fence in the snow.
Hugs,
Dawn
They are gorgeous! I don't think I've seen the striped variety. Just beautiful!
Cathy, they are breathtaking......ooooo,they feed my spirit. You are dear for sharing.
Hugs!

That little story of an "ANGEL" gave me goose bumps... the story is just as gorgeous as the flowers... Have a wonderful day. Thanks for your visits too! ;)
Cathy ... they are perfect, angelic and wonderful!
There is nothing better than beautiful flowers to brighten up a cold winter's day!

they are beautiful... I need to get busy with my bulbs. My paper whites are such a joy when they are blooming and they smell so wonderful. These are beautiful and the colors are amazing!
Hi Cathy,
I agree, yes they are gorgeous! What a nice unexpected gift. I've never tried to grow bulbs inside, but it looks like a nice way to break up a long winter.
Cathy
