A,maryllis


A,maryllis (Amaryllis belladonna (Belladonna lily))

This was given to me last year by my mother, after it finished flowering at Christmas time and the weather improved i put it in the garden, where lo and behold it flowered again, but the snails or slugs ate the flowers :( (see photos) a couple of weeks ago i looked at it and it had a bud appearing so i brought it inside and its gorgeous! Really big flower i did feed it so maybe thats why the flower is so huge, there is another bud ready to open.

Lovely its such a shame but my mum used to buy me one of these every christmas and since she died I just cant buy one anymore it doesnt feel right, and with a new kitten I somehow dont think it would survive!!
