My "Amarisis" aka as an Amaryllis

Right before Christmas, my Aunt Babs gave me a special present - an Amaryllis bulb in a pot. She knows how much I enjoy nature and thought I would like watching it grow!! And did it ever grow!!! Form the beginning, I called it my "Amarisis" and enjoyed taking care of it. I helped water it every day and reminded Mommy and Daddy when they forgot!! I also thought that hugging my plant every day and talking to it were very important!! I told it "grow Amarisis grow" several times a day and insisted on hugging it alot.

Here is a picture of me giving my "amarisis" a big hug!!

It must have worked - here it is less than a month later!!! I am soooo proud!!

Thanks for a great gift Aunt Babs!!
