I am working on reducing the quantity of stuff around here. It's not easy, but I had an epiphany today. If there's something I don't want for its intrinsic usefulness, but it has sentimental value, I can always take a picture of it and then put it in the trash / yard sale box. I am looking at the house with fresh eyes and building a little list.

Hippeastrum 'papilio' continues to send out shoots but doesn't look like any hippeastrum I've ever seen before. Take a look at this:

It sure looks different from all the others I've seen, in which a fan of leaves comes from the center and the flower scape either comes from the fan or from the side. Here it looks like the flower scape is in the center (it's a thick thing, not like leaf nubbins) and then there's an odd cluster of leaves coming out of the side.

Well, anyhow, it's growing.
