What is this flower?

I thought this was an amaryllis until it bloomed. I love the look of this flower, my Aunt kindly shared this with me and told me it is from the amaryllis family but has no idea what it is called. If anyone knows the name please let me know.

A Garden Update

Well it has been a while since posting so here are some updates:

The vegetables have been growing a lot since last posted.


The rains have been a blessing for all of us. Some things that really have grown are the mushrooms!! I don't know what kind these are but don't eat these please.


These are where fairies hide right?












A half moon fairy ring found in our front lawn. I don't know why there is one here but it is an interesting formation.























It's twins! There is a lovely pattern in the
center of these mushrooms.
















The Muskadine Vines have grown and they
look like they will bear a lot this year.

Just look at those lovely little fruit clusters.
















The bean patch has grown a lot. I've been trying to grow green beans for several years without much success. Last time I had a good stand of beans I put up almost 100 jars. Most years the beans die out when the hot weather gets here but that year they kept on producing through August.



I had my fill of canning beans and tilled them under. To bad I didn't know it would be a while before I had a nice bean crop again.

Here is a nice stand of green beans.
My first try at growing butter beans.
They look so healthy.

Our garden
