 Aunt Dot gave me this amaryllis for Christmas. Never had one in the rocks before. Always did the ones with soil. I added the water as instructed. Then had to be placed in a sunny bright spot. Well here that has been hit or miss  of late. I have managed to chase the sunshine around the house with it. So it has become a traveling amaryllis!
For now it is on the table so we can enjoy it blooming. This was yesterday. Today second bloom is open. There is a third one on the way as well. 
 Is a pretty dark pink. I have had reds and even pink stripe ones before. I always set them out in spring. They do great. Spot that I normally use though may not be best anymore . The shrubs there are now to tall.
This is our big snow! Did have very low temps though, So had some freeze. Ice on roads out here in the boonies. So Friday some schools were on 2 hr delay, others just closed. Early this AM was 17F when DH got up. Sunshine is out now so warming up! Amazing it can be so very cold but have such bright sunshine and blue skies!!!
So far 2 days of some very bright sunshine!! WANDAMUS! Can sit in sewing room and soak up some natural Vit D!

Have been working on a couple projects. I do have a wool one I would really like to finish up. May switch to that one to give me a break from 2.5" squares! ;-)
