Goodbye amaryllis

As I mentioned in January, TYG’s mum got us an amaryllis.

It turned out really pretty.

Nothing lasts forever, though.

I thought that would be the end. After perusing some articles I’ve learned that with care the amaryllis can last through the year until it blooms next spring. They’re not all in agreement how to do it but pruning the dead stems is definitely the next step.

This isn’t the ideal place for it, for various reasons related to how I arrange my office. However this is the only room with both sufficient sunlight and where I can keep the cats out, as amaryllis is toxic to cats. I shall adapt.
