Prita, thanks for the offer of a brug start - my kids never know what to get me for gifts, so I send them a running 'wish list' of plants that they pick and choose from. "Charles Grimaldi" is my birthday gift for this year. It's become kind of a nice thing, having a garden with gifts of lovely flowering and fruiting plants. I can walk through and say "oh, the kids gave me that amaryllis for Mother's Day years ago" etc. A living legacy! I got two (!!) clivia plants for Christmas one year. What a treasure.

btw, everyone, the silly screen name dyzzypyxxy is a funny thing my daughter came up with years ago and I adopted. Please feel free to use dyz, or . . . well my name is Elaine.

Here's a picture of my 3 Bogota amaryllis - maybe this one will be in focus? That last picture, seems the camera outsmarted me (not unusual) and focused on the canna leaf in the background. . . . I keep telling my dh that I don't want a smart phone 'cause I'm worried it will be smarter than me but maybe it would take better pictures.
