Red Tuesday

These lilies bloomed out of season
just so I could post a picture
on my Red Tuesday Theme


Red Coxcombs.
I remember these were the favourite flowers
of a character in the soap opera Santa Barbara which urban India
watched years ago as if its life depended on it.

Thank you for sharing your beautiful flowers in your RT blog post.

I'm devastated by the news that has been dominating the headlines of the tragedy in India. Thank you for keeping your readers informed. My prayers go out for the loss of life, the wound to your country, and the desperate situation that led to the terrorists awful actions.

Dear Amrita,
the Lilies are beautiful. I guess they are called Amaryllis. They only grow indoors in Norway.
o am still fascinated by your expression "winter roses", that is so exotic.
I know nothing about Coxcombs or Santa Barbara. That is until now.
Beautiful flowers.

Amrita, these are beautiful! We turn to the news and see the mess man has created - thank you for a sweet slice of what God has created. It reminds me of the beauty He has in store for those who persevere in the faith. Thanks for the chuckle about Santa Barbara!!!!!
