Volunteer Sunflower and Me on Christmas Day


Hi Friends,
I love this sunflower so much that I asked my dh to take this photo on Christmas Day.

We have been watching this sturdy plant which was not planted by us, and is a true volunteer. It pushed up through the soil on about November 1, maybe thanks to some dear bird gardener. No one in their right mind would plant a sunflower seed here in November. It even survived some very cold frosty nights, when I had to scrape frost from my car's windows in the morning.

What a gallant flower friend, and for me, a symbol of God's caring and hope for the future.

Amaryllis for Christmas Color




My husband took photos of our Amaryllis in bloom, which I post here.
What a rich crimson color to bring to our home, and with this flower, on our kitchen table, the room positively glows.

Visitors to our house stop in their tracks when seeing this beauty, and have been known to say "Wow, what is that?"



Do you have your own secrets about bringing color to your home during the holidays? Please share here, we can all learn from each other.
