i love everything about naked ladies {Amaryllis belladonna}:
how from these dried up leaves comes this smooth, sensuous stem
topped with a perfect closed bud
from which a hardy pink cluster of trumpet blooms splay out.
their scent is sweet and true.
they grow in full sun, any soil with no irrigation. they are long lived.
they remind me of my grandmother.
