Hi Maria!!

Think of you and all your beautiful flowers often!! I did check in on Facebook now and again but they've sort of made it impossible as they won't accept any password I give them these days so I've given up!

This is one of your lovely creations, isn't it, I forget the name though.

Love, and the best to you and your family....Donna☺☺

Hi Maria,

So nice to "hear" from you and happy February to you and your lovely family. Your flowers are gorgeous as are your precious grand babies. I can't believe how big they've gotten!!! Lots of love, hugs and kisses to you and them, please stay safe.

Hi Maria, cheers! I remember you way back the last decade under my old username Tokyoafia. You sent me some papilio polen once.

Hey Fred! Thanks and yes they've grown so fast...too fast actually. One reason why I lay lowed a lot on plants and try to give my family more of my time. We can't bring these plants with us when we go 6 feet under...right? ha! I don't care for the newest or rarest or prettiest amaryllis anymore as I am done with that phase of my gardening life. I just concentrate on growing what I have to the best I can and do a little bit of pollinating here and there. Que sera sera!

Hi Brian, cheers to you too! You just reminded me of how old I am. LOL Yes I was one of the very first members in this Amaryllis forum of Gardenweb and that was waaaaaaaayyyy back then. I hope the papilio pollen I sent produced for you. So many newbies now. It's their time to shine. Hopefully they'll respect the oldies and don't step on them to uplift themselves.

Gorgeous blooms and an even more gorgeous group of grandchildren! They all make me smile!
