Yumiko（California U.S.A）SAMA✨ Good mornevening, Yuming ！😄👌 Amaryllis bloom in early summer in Japan🇯🇵, but they are already blooming in California 🌴🇺🇸🤗! These are bright, large flowers that are perfect for summer!🌺🌸🌿🌞✌️ Oni-chang posted a photo of an amaryllis on GS on June 25, 2024.📸🌸🌿 It's a total match to your amaryllis photo !🌺🌿 I'm blown away.（ビックラポンや！😵） Migiwa is a classmate of Chibi Maruko-chan on TV.😊 Maruko's girlfriend's bulldog is named "Amaryllis".🐶🌺 Hoitara-ne.🌞✌️
Yumiko（California U.S.A）SAMA✨ p.s. The name "Amaryllis" is derived from the beautiful shepherdess in the pastoral poems of the ancient Roman poet Virgil. 🌺 It is associated with a Greek mythological love story where she caused a red flower to bloom with her own blood for the sake of the boy she loved.🩸🥰🌞✌️
