Amaryllis

Another gift idea. I have never actually given one as a gift, but I have received a few, and I have to say, they are one of my favorites. They are so exciting to watch, they grow fast, the blooms are huge and the colors are vibrant. And the best part is, mine have always kept blooming into the spring. You can buy a bulb and find an inexpensive pot or buy pre-potted, whatever your budget allows.

My mom has one that was split up a few years back. It was my moms grandma agnes clark - it was her moms plant. When they split it up, all the kids (my moms mom and aunts) all got one of the pieces of the plant. My mom got one as well but it isnt to the point where we can split it again. So one year for mothers day I got her one from me that was white and made plans to pass it along in our family starting with her to me and jade then our kids and so on. The other one from my great grandmas mother is red. It is a really great gift and we have a little tradition with ours too.
