Summer flowers

Just a few pictures here of some of my summer flowers.

First the mother’s day bouquet Stephen got for me.

My amaryllis bloomed in the summer this year since I had replanted it late last fall.  I bought it the first Christmas we were here and the bulb is as big as my fist and has produced several other bulbs since then.  This time the stock had 6 blooms on it!

And finally, my orchid.  Last year I had it in a bad place and the blooms fell off almost immediately.  This year it grew 2 flower stocks (not sure what they are called in English), and had I think about 26 blossoms total.  I am so proud of it as orchids are VERY popular over here and I see them in almost every apartment window.
