Amaryllis - week 5 and the Garden again

My Amaryllis seems to have a character all of its own this week!  
I have taken a photo every day......


Monday

Friday


Saturday




Sunday


This was last Monday


Saturday


As you see we are tackling thorns which are very long and quite viscous!
The stalks more like mini tree trunks are about an inch in diameter.  We fill a bag which takes about forty minutes then we come in for coffee, and tackle more the next day.
I did feel a bit guilty about the birds habitat, then I thought well if we had just moved into this property the first thing we would have done was clear the bottom of the garden.  We only found one old birds nest in amongst the brambles, I thought there was going to be loads..........


I have put some of these in my Folksy shop - see side bar

    It's a good time of year to tackle the brambles, any nest you find will be old, it's a good task. Love your Amaryllis, it is behaving better than mine. I am feeling guilty, not spent any time in our garden, I have to sort both small green houses.

    Wow - it is amazing how much space you have created with your bramble-bashing! What plans do you have for that area? The amaryllis is gorgeous x

    You'll miss your amarylis when it fades Julie...but at least you will have all your photos to remember it...hopefully by which time there will be better weather to put your plans for the garden into practice.

    What a beautiful and unusual amaryllis, Julie! Your photos remind me of those wonderful botanical paintings with those striped petals!

    Stunning amaryllis, Julie. The garden is looking great. Hope you didn't get snagged by any of those massive brambles! Xxx
