It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...





Photos from a small flower shop on my street. It was closed- but, I thought that they had a nice display in their window and it was nice to see some Christmas decorations.

Beautiful! Do you know what kind of flowers those are in the last picture?

Yes, that is an Amaryllis flower. It's a bulb that's sold everywhere (in America, that is) at this time of the year. It's a huge bulb sold in a box.. (to prevent damage to the bulb) you can force it to bloom in water.

However, this one is a 'silk flower' verison of the same plant.. and the first time that I've seen one for sale here or anywhere. I may go back and check on the cost?
