Miniature Disaster

Most years I buy Amaryllis bulbs in the fall. I love to have their brightly colored flowers around in mid-winter, when the garden and the sky are grey.

Most years I have problems with the plants tipping over their pots.

So I bought clay pots specifically for Amaryllis bulbs, and I jerry-rigged a support for the flowers.

But this year I bought bigger bulbs and...

TIMBER!

Fortunately when I put the buds into a vase they opened up anyway.

Ahhhh. Bright color in the dark of winter.

When is spring?
