like Amaryllis to win

too bad he never noticed

- The amaryllis flower symbolizes pride, timidity, and splendid beauty. In Greek mythology, Amaryllis was a Greek nymph who fell in love with a man. To declare her love, she pierced her heart with an arrow everyday for a month. Despite doing this at the front door, the man never paid her any attention. When the man finally opened the door, he found just a single flower. It was said that the amaryllis flower was made from the nymph's blood.
