One of my best friends gave me indoor-blooming red lion amaryllis for Christmas. This is a plant I have wanted to try, but couldn't bring myself to drop the cash for it. Thank you, Santa!! Readers, this plant is awesome! It sat in a box on our front porch for a week while we were out of town for the holidays. When I got to it, it looked hale and hearty with 3 sets of foliage popping out of the top. All I had to do was take it to a sunny window, add water and wait. We started out here:

Soon we were here:

And now we are here in the land of fabulous blooms! Each stalk has 3 gigantic blossoms:

It's so perfect that it looks fake! In this landscape of snow, front and biting winds, it is so nice to watch life and color claim its space and shine.
