Each year, this amaryllis quietly rests beneath the surface, unseen… waiting.
In March, it begins to stir. A gentle, tentative peek through the soil, almost as if it’s unsure of itself. Then slowly, steadily, it rises. Growing taller each day, finding its strength.
And then… almost overnight… it blooms.
A magnificent blossom. Bold, radiant, impossible to ignore. It stands in its full beauty for such a short time and then, just as quietly, it fades back into the comfort of the earth.
It blooms in April, every year without fail.
And every year, it reminds me of my dear friend who passed in 2020.
So like this flower beautiful, radiant, full of life… here for a fleeting moment, yet leaving a lasting imprint on the heart.
The amaryllis is said to symbolise strength, radiance, and beauty — and we saw all of that in her.
A gentle reminder that even the briefest presence can leave the deepest impact 🤍
