At Christmas, my mother-in-law gave me a flower bulb. I didn't think at the time much more than, "It's very nice. Thank you." But now? In the deepest, bleakest part of winter I realize how thoughtful her gift really was. I planted that bulb in a flower pot and set it on my kitchen sill. I waited. And watered. And waited some more.
That dirty, brown nothing of a bulb has grown 3' tall and is blooming gorgeous red . . .
just when I need it most.

What a great gift. I will keep that in mind for next year. Beautiful picture.
I also got one of those as 'a gift from my 4 year old daughter' at christmas. we must have planted it a bit late as it's only just started growing, or it could be the lack of sunlight here in grey London!. can't wait 'till it looks as lovely as yours.
Such a sweet gift. I'm constantly amazed by the gorgeous stuff that comes out of just a dead looking little root.
How beautiful! I love having flowers around during winter. It always brightens my day when I look outside and see nothing but grey skies and snow.
Wow! Beautiful!
Look at that red.
That color is so stunningly beautiful.
What a thoughtful gift!
Yes!! I love those things. Heavens knows we need bright and cheery colorful FLOWERS right now, huh? My hubby brought home some of my favorites today, Daffodils! I love those happy things.
Beautiful! We need every bit of help we can get to make it through a long winter. I'm from Michigan and we generally don't see spring until April. Winter wasteland abounds...
