Tuesday 13th January - nothing venture, nothing gain?

 This article from The Spruce appeared in my newsfeed just now, with instructions on how to persuade your amaryllis to flower for a second year. I need to re-read it to make sure I know what to do, although it seems quite simple.

Our first amaryllis is almost over, so I I'll give this a go. 

Meanwhile the second bulb has produced a stem and bud to go with the two leaves. 


I'd like to see if there are any leftover bulbs in the garden centre; perhaps we'll get there later this week. 

Here's a little warmth for you, 'Am Kamin' or 'By the Fireside' from 'Kinderscenen' by Schumman

It's astonishing how differently people play this; either at this gentle, reflective speed, or else at what seems like a flat-out romp.
