The amaryllis bulb that I started in mid-January has bloomed this week. It was well worth the wait. An amaryllis is a traditional annual birthday gift from my sister, and over the years, I have enjoyed a nice variety of beautiful blooms in bright red and white and pink. This year’s amaryllis, named Bolero, was advertised as a new colour, and I have to say it is beautiful. The flowers are a deep-rose shade that looks spectacular backlit by the sun.
