Going to the mail box on the street, I noticed next to the garage door, my Easter Lilies have buds on the plants. So, I thought, the amaryllis will have buds too. I then, dropped off the mail on the work bench in the garage [we let them set there for a day before opening 'em]....went into the kitchen, washed my hands with anti-bacterial soap, and grabbed my cellphone. Out the back door I ran, heading to the flower box along the foundation...to my surprise the amaryllis were in full bloom!!! I just wish the blossoms would last longer. These are my favorites. In the group of plantings, I have all white, and red. But, for some reason, they don't bloom as profusely as these variegated ones. Maybe I planted the bulbs too deep or something. Of course, I transplanted them. They used to be in the front yard, but the neighborhood dogs used to get in them and trampled them. I got a spur up my butt, and said enough is enough, and moved them into the fenced BACK yard.

They are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI can only have them in the house ... not in the garden! Unfortunately!
Yes, I remember my mother's potted plants indoors in Colorado.
DeleteOur family also likes Amarylis flowers, but in my city it is still difficult to find flower traders with amarylis flowers, we use plastic flowers.
ReplyDeleteHave a nice day.
Greetings from Indonesia
Plastic flowers these days look so real!
DeleteYes, that's right 🙂👌
DeleteThose are pretty. The prettiest ones never seem to last long enough. Seems rather rude to have neighbors who will allow their dogs to roam and ruin things in other peoples yards
ReplyDeleteHello, they are gorgeous blooms. They would never survive outdoor here. Happy weekend to you!
ReplyDeleteYour flowers are beautiful and so are your photos Anni
ReplyDeleteWe all must keep doing things that will help keep us safe in this pandemic.
I wonder if our lives will ever be "normal" again.
Hugs and Stay Safe 🌷
I love the colors of those! Have a nice weekend ~ FlowerLady
ReplyDeleteYour Amaryllis pictures are stunning! I love them! The pink veins in the petals are so delicate and bright.
ReplyDeleteThey are gorgeous! I have never seen any around here.
ReplyDeleteThese are beautiful flowers. Over here we grow them only indoors. I usually get a bulb or two before Christmas and enjoy their color in the winter months.
ReplyDeleteYa, it was the same in Colorado...an indoor plant.
DeleteBeautiful! I just saw a music video with George Strait singing that song, too funny!
