White Amaryllis in a Terracotta Pot — Fanny Brate Postcard

The amaryllis is a winter plant that blooms extravagantly out of season, and Fanny Brate captures that paradox exactly: large white trumpet flowers striped with pink and red rise from a visible bulb in a plain terracotta pot, the warm amber-and-brown interior behind them making the blooms glow. A second stem still holds an unopened bud. A card that works as well in January as it does for any birthday where something is just arriving.
