  1. I brought my amaryllis in from the garden this morning and put it in the "Harry Potter cupboard" under the stairs for a little rest before getting forced to bloom for Christmas. In truth, mine is a late bloomer and usually shows up for Easter instead.

  2. Reminds me of my mother and her habit of bringing the geraniums and the herbs in every fall. Wonderful memory

  4. Where else but this blog would you find a post as beautiful and simple and old-school as this. I don’t think there are many new money people or want to be preppies would even think about taking the time to bring the geranium in. It’s pure wasp.

    1. i assure you even fallen Roman Catholics will take the time to bring tender plants inside, having nothing to do with money clothes or religion.

    2. I think you completely missed the point.

  5. Yup. For the last four years, my six geraniums get overwintered inside and then planted back in the dooryard garden in the spring. I guess I should divide & propagate them - then I'd easily have more at no expense.
