I hadn't planned to post yet another photo so soon after the last ones...

[CaliforniaPeggy]

But this morning, I was looking out my dining room window and I saw .......I wasn't sure what. I went outside to see this bulb (which has not bloomed in many years) with two flowers and a bud coming up!

I was amazed. I'd thought it would never bloom again and here it is doing just that! Anyway, I hope you enjoy!

4. Thanks, my dear procon...

I don't know right here and now, but I think it's written down somewhere. I'll check and get back to you if I find it.

14. I think lynintenn is right.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

16. She is, indeed right!

[Lochloosa]

13. I think you are right

[CaliforniaPeggy]

15. You are correct, my dear lynintenn! Peruvian Daffodil it is.

The Latin name is Hymenocallis narcissiflora.

Thanks so much for that vital clue!

I love art and photography as much as I do music ..

A few artistic genes don't hurt either.

18. WOW!

It's beautiful, Peg, and what a pleasant surprise!

I was just out 'talking' to my crocus bed, as they're usually open by now. WAITING, but at least did see some green!

Hope your crocuses are up soon!

25. Oh! Such beauty.

Thank you, for the photo of that precious bloom, Peggy. We can't loose sight of the tiny miracles, and splendor in nature. What a cool gift for you this morning and the joy and reassurance it gives me now.
The news these days wears heavy. This picture lifted me up, and the back story, that the bulb hadn't bloomed in years, and today there it is, mystical and magical, too. Thank you, always for sharing this eternal gem here today. Please, share more photos!

[CaliforniaPeggy]
