Four beautiful, vibrant flowers (with one on the way)
I have been patiently forcing my amaryllis to bloom. I stopped watering it in November and one day in February the crazy thing started sending up shoots. I was shocked because it hasn't been watered since like I said November. I was like man it has some strong will to live! It wanted to send one last flower up, bloom, release its seeds and die. Survival was number one, so it put everything it had into sending up those shoots in tough times, as the drought I was putting it through. This was a great lesson for me because I was like wow, this plant will do anything to survive, even though it had nothing. I try not to be pessimist, because I know I have it better than a lot of people in this world. I have struggled to find a job, but I am so thankful for what I have. I have two wonderful families, great friends, food and roof over my head. What else could I ask for? These tough times have taught me a great lesson. I obviously will able to do anything if I have the drive that my beautiful Amaryllis has. p.s. I did water my plant after it started sending up shoots, it proved its self. :)
