This
is the amaryllis from last year. I planted it a few weeks ago and we have had fun watching it grow on the kitchen counter. About 5 days ago Cole got frustrated with Sierra and grabbed the leaves and yanked it out of the pot and was swinging it around above his head like a lasso. The poor plant. Dirt was flying everywhere. The poor kid. I just had to turn and walk out of the room so that I didn't have to explain the bruises to DFS. I figured the plant was dead for sure. After vacuuming up all of the dirt and explaining to Cole that plants aren't toys, we tucked the poor little thing back in the pot and crossed our fingers. It's doing better as the days go by. At least now the leaves are starting to grow upwards rather than lying down on the side of the pot. If we can make one of these things grow--anyone can!
