Even though it can get quite dark in northern and cloudy Seattle in the fall and winter, when the sun does come in a south-facing window it’s glorious, low-angled light. This was taken in my living room, just the other day. Can you tell it’s my absolute fave place to sit?

That amaryllis ‘Red Lion’ has bloomed and I do love it. Very satisfactory. They don’t always do so well, in my experience. The south-facing window with mostly cloudy days helped, I’m sure, plus I’ve learned to put the bulb in a heavy clay pot rather than the flimsy plastic one that comes with the “kit.” Also, they really mean it about good drainage. No wet feet!
