Amaryllis Announcement

Amaryllis Announcement

I think Amaryllis are supposed to bloom at Christmas time. Mine wait until around Easter. I see them as trumpets announcing the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the grave.  I’ll share a poem I wrote once when my Amaryllis bloomed. AMARYLLIS Pregnant Amaryllis bulbsends forth tender shoots.Brims with promise of beauty;announces another glorious springon the horizonto quench the droughtof winter.

Amaryllis

Usually Amaryllis bloom at Easter. This year I didn’t get them out of the basement in time. Now they are going full blast. I think they look like little trumpets–as if to shout, “He (Jesus) is risen! He is risen indeed!” What flowers do you have chomping at the bit to be seen?   My books are available at https://www.amazon.com/stores/Sally-Jadlow/author/B007F5H0H4
