What a difference a day makes - same location as yesterday

I planted these amaryllis/naked lady/belladonna bulbs years ago and nothing at all happened. Finally this year they've rewarded me.

Just as well they have flowered, not much else happening in my gardening at the moment

Thank you everyone for your wonderful comments on my shot yesterday - reminded me what a great crowd we have on 365 and what friends I have made over the last 3 years - thanks

ha - I took a photo of one of these flowers today - same deal - I took a photo of it springing from the ground as an unformed flower a few days ago - lovely flower and lovely smell too

Wonderful macro!..... well presented.

[Dave Schofield]

wow I can't wait to see what my work last year is going to produce this year in the garden. I've got 5 new rose bushes that I've pruned back and I really hope they flower like mad, and tulips and all sorts of bulbs.

@chewyteeth I love the surprises a garden can yield, the forgotten plants that suddenly appear after years of nothing are wonderful
