Yes, the lady in red would inspire many a fine flower. The amaryllis is perfect for our spring/early summer because it unfolds so quickly.

I must think about this idea for my mother in a 7 months' time .. something for the lady in red.<br /><br />Your MIL sounds like some formidable lady - and a one off .. great she lived so long .. <br /><br />Love the amaryllis .. so gorgeous to look at - have a great weekend.

She had a good innings indeed.<br /><br />* Penny, the year has gone by so fast. You are so right about the amaryllis growing quickly. Mira has been watching it with me, and every time she visits it has bloomed a little more.<br /><br />* Ruth, the memories feel very alive as I watch the amaryllis blooming.<br /><br />Thank you Charlie, Penny and Ruth, good to see you here.Juliethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01542985048406828693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3078877172139600813.post-19413271287750348082012-11-29T06:28:15.650+13:002012-11-29T06:28:15.650+13:00What a wonderful way to share memories of a dear f...What a wonderful way to share memories of a dear friend.Ruthhttp://www.realruth.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3078877172139600813.post-13198335272334178312012-11-29T03:23:05.125+13:002012-11-29T03:23:05.125+13:00Can it be a year already, Juliet? How time flies, ...Can it be a year already, Juliet? How time flies, but, a year pales in comparison to the span of your mother-in-law's 95 years of adventure and grace. You honor her beautifully here with your words and an amaryllis is a perfect plant to remember her by. <br /><br />I love amaryllis and try to have one through the holiday season here. It is a great plant to grow with children as it grows almost before one's eyes. Hmmm. I think I know what I will be buying soon.Penny O'Neillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14665025558373015362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3078877172139600813.post-27025871549864503872012-11-28T22:09:11.615+13:002012-11-28T22:09:11.615+13:00I'm so sorry to hear of the loss of your MIL b...I'm so sorry to hear of the loss of your MIL but what a great innings she had.
