ReplyDeleteTatyana,
ReplyDeleteThe blooms are spectacular. I am captivated.
I've enjoyed following your travels through your words and breathtaking photography.
Your blooming amaryllis bloom has brightened up this February day. Well, actually, the sun is shining, but a bloom or two makes it even better.

Donna,
ReplyDeleteI love the big, showy bloom in the middle of winter. It was a gift from my daughter many years ago. That makes it extra-special.
Is it a lot of work to keep the amaryllis bulb and get it to bloom the next year? Have you done a post on that? Just wondering.

It's such a spectacular flower and the only interesting plant in the dead of winter to post about. :-)
The amaryllis spend the summer out side in their pots. They are watered and fed with the potted plants.
Here, from the 2009 post, is what I do in fall:
"The amaryllis is taking its yearly nap. They rest under the table in the same cool room as the Christmas cactus. I brought them in about the middle of August and stopped watering. I’ll take off the leaves as they die back. If there are any green leaves left by the end of September, I’ll cut them off. I’ll add soil and start to water lightly after thanksgiving for March blooms."
