Miz Scarlett

She came quietly into the corner of the lily garden right in front of the organic garden sign. I noticed her first out of the corner of my eye but somehow thought someone from the park had thrown a candy wrapper into the garden. Nothing in the natural world good be that red? Could it?

Yes, a scarlet amaryllis had unfolded, slowly like a geisha before a client. She was unnaturally gorgeous. I did not plant her. I wonder which bird did?
