Aphrodite double blossom

It just finished fading out, and it’s gone now, but this was the last of the amaryllises last week for the very-stretched-out season. At the same time it started blooming, I started watering a dormant bulb that I’d let rest early from this past winter, and soon I will succeed in my efforts to conquer the world (or at least the back patio, the windows, and the bathroom) and have my bulbs flowering year-round nonstop.

I thought of Lois, and decided I needed to put this photo up here for her.
