miscellaneous

being ignorant of all things amaryllis, i wasn't expecting what evolved in the development of this plant.  over the weekend the stems on each side of what i thought was the main stem grew a very strange shape at the top of the stem.  after looking at it for a few days i realized those strange shapes at the top of the stems were the blooms forming! so the plant is backwards from what i have been describing it!  there are two main stems and they aren't in the center.  they are on either side of leaves.  the amaryllis experience has sure been interesting.

it's about five thirty pm and the sky is still light; twilight but light.  it feels like the earth is staying up a little later at night.

a flock of at least 12 pairs of cardinals were counted at the bird feeding station over the weekend.
