This amaryllis has to be one of the heartiest bulbs ever: here in my neighbor’s yard under the massive amounts of overgrown grape vine, poison ivy, euonymous, thistle, nettle, english ivy, and wild strawberry, the blooms appear, as a testament to order and beautify, as they stand like the only wonderfull objects amidst the three abandoned cars, stacks of tires, trash cans, inverted cement mixing tray, broken steps and falling gutters. How orderly they are, and persistent (at least 30 years), even in prospering, in the mess and bramble.
