I have Appleblossom too but it has a way to go before blooming as I just brought it up from the cellar and repotted it last week. It's a real beauty!<br />They sure are a great delight during these winter months that keep us stuck inside.<br />You should see the Clivia today..7 blooms are open and it's gorgeous! I hope yours blooms again soon. Treat it as you would an Amaryllis...don't forget to begin feeding in the spring...then let it rest for a couple of months and hardly water. <br />Also enjoyed your foliage post. Your plants sure had a tough time. It's so sad to lose them. I hope most come back.Kerrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18362584475435433892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4547783720122066148.post-25489971166484699442010-01-18T14:18:23.669-06:002010-01-18T14:18:23.669-06:00Your shadow photo is very creative.
