I have decided to join the blogging craze. I am looking forward to taking a moment to find out a little more about the plants I have been photographing. I hope to explore all aspects of plants, flowers, trees and other garden related topics. Sorry about having to watermark the photos but there are a lot of people using them without permission.

Amazon Lily
Amazon Lily
Eucharis grandiflora
(YOO-kuh-riss) (gran-dih-FLOR-uh)
Synonym: Eucharis amazonica
This native of Central and Southern America is a great plant. It is considered a bulbous perennial and can bloom twice a year under the right conditions. The flower stalks resemble a Daffodil and bear 3 to 10 fragrant flowers each. They are easy to grow inside and enjoy a shady spot in the garden with plenty of water during the summer. By all accounts it is a very long lived plant whose cultivation can bring years of enjoyment.
We are having a sleet storm out today. It is windy and really raw outside. I had an appointment to look at a new garden today but that will have to wait until tomorrow.
