Local law enforcement officials are reporting the demise of Vera. Friends of this ingénue describe her as pleasing but very quiet and many had trouble remembering their last conversation. All commented on her remarkable beauty, and the tragedy of being cut down in her blossoming youth.
At this time, no witnesses to the incident have come forward. Any person with knowledge of this crime should call 1-8-C-a-t-s-D-i-d-I-t.

Sigh. The reality is I should have planted her in a bigger pot and staked the stalk. Three of her 4 flowers are destroyed and she can’t hold her head up anymore. I’ll do surgery on her later today, once I’ve had a cup of coffee.
I don’t think I can blame this one on the cats, although it would be very convenient. After all, what else are cats good for if they can’t take the heat once in a while?
The good news is there’s another flower head about 8 inches tall so there may actually be a Vera II.
Noooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!
Oh no!
Do you have a glass hurricane lamp thingy? The chimney part is great for putting over amaryllis and supporting their flower stalks. Just a thought.
xo
Rotten kittehs. (Yeah, they are always a handy scapegoat.) Here’s hoping for Vera 2.0!
Oh no! Cookie has the right idea! Are we surprised?
nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Whether or not the cats did it, I’m sure they would have done it if they got the chance. So they’re totally to blame…
So sad for your beautiful flower! I love amaryllisses. (amaryllisi? amarylli? amarylliseseses?)
Major Bummer!!! Good luck to Vera II!
Sorry to hear about VERA! She was beautiful while she lasted. And being a dog person myself, I can’t imagine what else cats are good for
