The Lavendar Tree: $5.00 at WalMart

$5.00 at WalMart

A friend/co-worker potted a big-ole amaryllis bulb a few weeks ago and placed the lone pot in a nearby work window.

After the proper God-planned time, this beautiful bloom awoke.

She said "Not bad for a $5.00 bulb from WalMart.". I say - I do agree!

Pretty! I can't remember if those have a nice smell to them? It must be nice to have a splash of color in the house during the drab wintertime!

Unfortunately, no great smell - but a beautiful flower! I wish they would last longer than they do.

Why The Lavendar Tree?

Where did The Lavendar Tree come from? Well, let me explain.

LAVENDAR: I've always had a purple passion. I think it arrived the day I was born. It was only natural that purple came into play somewhere in "my name".

I like the way "lavender" sounds - but for some reason, I think everyone else spells it wrong and it really should be spelled "lavendar". :-)

TREE: My grandmother was an incredible fiber artist - I believe way before the words "fiber artist" ever existed. She was an extremely talented quilter, knitter, crocheter and could embroider like no one's business. She had a talent for the satin stitch to die for! My grandma helped encourage my passion for crafting and stitching when I was very young.

I fondly recall one sunshiny day, standing at my grandma's kitchen window and seeing the tree leaves sway back and forth in her orchard. She said the leaves were "waving" at us. I loved that. (Note: I have found that birch trees make the happiest wavers!)

THUS: The Lavendar Tree.
