Amaryllis

Every year, well most years, I get a white amaryllis for the table at Christmas. I love these flowers and today with the light coming through the leaves it is just yummy. It might be the tender green, with its promise of spring that moves me so, especially when the outside is a buried world with only faith to sustain one that it will be green and lush again. Another favorite thing about amaryllis is that it always reminds me of this song, Amaryllis by Caccini and sung by Cecila Bartoli. [ I LOVE Cecilia Bartoli, in my next life I'm coming back as a singer please.]
