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.
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?

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