I surprised my Mom with this huge poinsettia plant last Friday. I bought it and left it inside her home for her to find when she got home from work. It made her very happy!
So yesterday I was taking photos of it, and got close to the center. There’s a lot going on there!
She is growing her amaryllis again this year, and this is the first one to blossom:
And again I got close to the center, and was happy to see how intricate this is, too!
I love how the petals sparkle!

Mary - I thought it was cool, too! And thought of you when I turned it on! It will stop snowing on January 2nd here on my blog, but not here where I live!
Thank you!
