    Wow.

    Plant people fascinate me.

    I can raise orphaned baby birds, heal sick reptiles, and keep pets alive for twice their natural lifespan.

    But give me a beautiful, healthy plant and I'll kill it within months, every time.

    How lovely! I've never grown an amaryllis myself, but I used to buy one occasionally for a great aunt of Alec's. I remember one year the eagerly-awaited huge bud failed to pop open. When she investigated, she found the bud completely empty, just a casing with no flowers in it. Poor thing just had a long stalk and a couple of leaves for her windowsill.
