Flowers of Winter 1

The snow has melted quite a bit these past few days, leaving banks of gray snow everywhere. 

This is the down side of winter weather.  It makes me want to look elsewhere for beauty.  So this is the first of a series of winter flowers that I propose to trot out on dismal days like today.

It was taken a while ago, but the two amaryllises I started for this year are nearing bloom.  Will include a picture of them when they come out.
