Amaryllis fronds. This is a common plant around here. Amaryllis Belladonna is known around here as Surprise Lillys and Naked Ladies. They are not lillies, but the queen of amaryllis. According to some of the things I read, this plant originally came from South Africa, and most of the hybrids today came from her. Great landscaping element because it drought tolerant. The leaves come out in the spring, and they die back in the summer. In Autumn, long stalks with pink-ish flowers. They have a very pleasant light fragrance. And the deer don't like them ;-) Posted by Hello

Macbeth M5--in a closet, for lack of space in the main room. Josh said he was preparing to renovate and rearrange the house's interior for better use of the space. The walls will be lined with analog equipment. Eric with Josh, Brice and Cory in the main room. Brice and Cory in front of assorted Vermona, a Red Square, and a Studio Electronics Omega(?). Josh with cables overhead. This house has to be 100 years old, and it shows it. You can see better photos of their equipment at their site, Neopolitan Labs .
