Winter Plants

Theresa and I have large windows that give us a huge amount of sunshine in our family room. We have an aloevera plant that just grew and grew. After Xmas there was a sale of amaryllis plants and we bought one and it has been on our breakfast table ever since.It grows so quickly that it a topic of conversation every morning.
 The rest of our flowers are doing very well. I gave Theresa an or-acid for Mothers day and after the original offering we treated the plant as a celebrity and coaxed it back for blooming. Now it is beginning to give us a second showing and in another week we will have nine more bloom. This is great for the winter months when we cannot get our hands dirty in the garden.

Nature has it's many ways to keep us interested in the natural order of things. Every time we look around we see another facet of the beauty of the natural aspects of the earth and its mysteries. Just wonder at the magnificent beauty of a simple flower.
