A Gentle Nudge

Earlier in May, I had transistioned my amaryllis outside, so it could get plenty of light. The poor thing suffered from sunburned leaves. Before I left on my trip, it had started new leaves, that would be more suitable for real, full sunlight.



But it seems this die back and regrowth was good for something else. A new flowerstalk! Whee! It's pushing a new flower!



That's really cool. I was thinking about it on my trip too, because I got a really nice picture of an amaryllis in bloom at the extension center. Ah, another tropical plant. :)
