Winter Bloom – duncancleary

#330/365

Back garden patrol –

Feeling the cold in my bones ~

Last of the flowers.

Amaryllis bloom –

Little bit of Africa ~

Brightens up the day.

Sarcococca scent –

Confusing, pleasant surprise ~

Mid-Winter honey.

Always, with Death, sure –
Renewal ~ from the same source –
Red Amaryllis.

Buds sprout from the branch –
Flowers for friends not here yet ~
Orchid and the Bee.

Red Amaryllis –
Blooming very well ~ also,
Coming to year’s end.
