No, this is not a flowershop....

this is just somebody's window in a street in Amsterdam.

Views like these are what inspire me!

Just see what a magnificent display you can make, two tall red glasses, filled with pebbles, 2 or 3 Amaryllis bulbs on top of them and red dogwood twigs surrounding the bulbs and giving support to the tall flower stems.
Amaryllis can grow just on water, so they do not really need soil; as long as you make sure that the water level is just reaching the rootpart of the bulb.
What a wonderful way to get through the dark days of winter!
