My family sent me these photos of my amaryllis collection.

  Some are in pots by the front door, others are in the ground by a fish pond.

They are also called Hippeastrum.

My family has been caring for them while I live on the mountain.

I really appreciate them taking care of my flowers and sending me photos when they are in bloom.

I am happy to see my plants cared for in my absence. It makes me feel appreciated when they send photos of my treasures. It is hard for me to believe that I could distance myself from things I used to feel were so important.

I will get to see my gardens in person soon. We are celebrating Mother’s Day late so we can all be together.
