The Amaryllis and Primrose - Friends in the Winter Window

February - Amaryllis and Primrose in my kitchen window ©CindyRippe2013

This is the little primrose plant that I photographed yesterday for February's Flower of the Month.  Purchased at the grocery store, it shares the windowsill with my amaryllis plant, "Blossom Peacock".  I'm partial to white and pink flowers, just in case you haven't figured that out yet, and the little white primrose plant is a perfect fit for one of my cereal bowls.

 

I'm pretty sure this amaryllis bulb was mislabeled, which seems to be my luck with them lately.  Last year it was the Surprise Red Amaryllis.  The Blossom Peacock flower is supposed to be have multiple petals and looks more pink in the photos on the tag and on a website that I found.

"Like a magnficent peacock's tail unfolding, these huge, petal-packed double blooms are astounding in both size and color! Boasting 15 to 18 petals, they offer layer after layer -- bloom within bloom -- of stunning color.....Each petal has a white background richly overlaid with red and rose tones. The red outlines the eges, shading to rose toward the center. A large white stripe bisects each petal right down the middle, for a symmetrical, neat effect you will just love."

The universe knows that I'm in need of more color I think.  It's sneaking it into my life a little at a time!  No matter what the color is I really enjoy the changing beauty each day. What color flower is your favorite?

I hope some day to meet God, because I want to thank Him for the flowers. Robert Brault.com
