Early Blooming of Amaryllis - Gardening and Hobby 76

Friday, January 16, 2026
It is quite surprising that we have blooming of Amaryllis early than usual. The flowers typically bloom around next month.


Fig 01 - Surprise Blooming.

We have "fantastic" names for the beautiful Amaryllis:
- the pink one is called Pinkolo.
- and the white one is Marquis.

We think that Pinkolo is playful and has theatrical energy to it. Then, Marquis feels elegant and regal. 

Several flowers come back bigger and better each year. We are waiting their bloom to return soon.

In case of indoor flowers, we keep watching them grow or changes from day to day. Waiting for surprise.

Do you have flowers that are blooming early?

A Yellow-Rumped Warbler.in the Winter - Critter 110

Friday, January 2, 2026
 This critter is one of birds which migrate to our areas during winter. I don't know the exact name but look like A Yellow-Rumped Warbler.


Fig 01 - A Yellow-Rumped Warbler.

The scientific name could be Setophaga coronata, and several common names in our city are following:
Goldman’s Warbler
Black‑fronted Warbler
- Myrtle Warbler
- Audubon’s Warbler

The bird came by our tray feeder recently, usually between January to February almost every year.

A Yellow-Rumped Warbler is a cute tiny guy and like it has no neck. We loooove the stripes on the wings.


Fig 03 - A lonely bird.

Happy New Year. Hope, things going well for all of us in 2026.
