This was beautiful and very creative Kim. I grow Amaryllis in my garden. They bloom once a year but are so beautiful. I like your comparison of the bloom to birth.

Thanks so much, Chris! The title came toward the end as I had a recollection about this flower! I love when that happens!

A wonderfully clever comparison between the seedling birth of lovely flowers and the seeding of a child, and through proper channels. ;-) Well done, Kim.
