Our Christmas amaryllis has lost its blooms and is now only leaves.
Since that photo, one of the leaves has yellowed and fallen away. I don’t know if that’s normal or a sign the plant is in trouble. I guess I’ll find out as the year progresses. If everything goes well we can get it to bloom again this winter.
This cake was born when I realized I had two bananas that had become too ripe for my taste. I looked through my recipes and found one for a tahini banana/date cake. Tasty, with the tahini giving it an extra tang.
And here’s a bonus image, of a bush in our neighborhood with flowers blooming next to dying blossoms. Because that’s all arty and symbolic and proves how deep I am.
