These are my leaf girl ACEOs (2 1/2" x 3 1/2") inspired by an amaryllis plant I am trying to get to flower again later this year. I have been watering the leaves to strengthen the bulb in the pot. They look just like the leaves atop the girl's head right now. The plan is to move the pot outside after the danger of frost is past, say May 21st. I will continue to water it and bring it inside in early September, assuming it is still surviving. At this point I will trim the leaves and pack the bulb inside a brown paper bag to lay dormant until mid November. At this time I will re pot the bulb if it is still viable and water it until it starts to shoot and hopefully flower. That is the plan anyway!

She is really lovely. Good luck with the amaryllis. That sounds like a really good plan.

Lovely painting. Oh, such tricky weather we are having. We have had warmer weather, but warm winds come with that too along with an occasional cold front. Great Friday paint party!
Oh, so clever! Very unique painting. Happy Weekend!
Good luck with the plant. They sprout such pretty flowers!

Nice art
She wear those leaves like a fine hat, fingers crossed it flowers along with your amaryllis. It will make another super ACEO.
I'm currently nurturing a finger lime tree that my Son brought me for Mother's Day I too hope it can go outdoors when the frosts disappear.
Happy Weekend Hugs Tracey x

Lovely drawing!
Good luck with the plant. :)
So cute, Christine! And amaryllis plants are gorgeous. Good luck with yours!
She’s a very cool Leaf Girl. Did you ever see The Music Man? There’s a little girl character whose name is Amaryllis. I hope your plan works for you. Maybe you’ll get another bloom before you put it away for the winter.
no I didn't see The Music Man but it sounds interesting.
what a funny touching picture :)
well done ❤️
