Amaryllis and Ice.....

 

        Ice has come and stayed a day..... I'm so glad we ventured out into that Winter Wonderland... 

The roads were lovely and not slick at all but anything up off the ground was covered in ice and slowly melting... 


As we were out an about a great chunk of ice hit the car next to me and we were like where did that come from? A quick look up and we saw that chunks of ice were melting and falling from the over head power lines... that we parked under!!!!  I was lucky.. i think that would have hurt!!! 😲


My poor Viola or Johnny Jump Ups were literally coated in ice.. I thought they were goners.... but nope the ice melted  and they looked fine... like Ice? what ice?  .... 


And lastly an update on Amaryllis..... Thats StarGazer in the front and finally Glee in the back...Glee is  a little darker and the petals are more pointy... StarGazer's petals curl back but not Glee's... Short little Red Lion is just blooming like crazy... all gorgeous!  


They were a big hit when we finally had our Christmas party on the 8th...  You really don't appreciate how tall they are in these pictures... just amazing... now the trick is to see if i can get them to rebloom next year... :)  I hope you've had a wonderful start to your 2025! Hugs! deb
