Amaryllis!


 I was so happy to see this amaryllis bulb in bloom!  It is a red one that I had given up on and almost threw it out after winter.  There it sat sprouting in the garage finally!  I will try to remember to keep it watered over the summer and hope it blooms.

awesome! these bulbs need to go through a dormant period to bloom again. when I bring mine indoors before the fall frost, I set it in the house in a dark corner-no water til you see a leaf emerging-then bring it out, I fertilize and water-will bloom most years doing this.
enjoy

This is so great! I just want some hearty greens to eat, but the lettuce never quite looks lush enough for a salad.

When I think of Amaryllis I always think of the girl in THE MUSIC MAN. My niece played the part in their hometown musical.

Sometimes I think forgetting about them makes them bloom - my husband has found a couple blooming in the basement when he forgot to bring them out.

I used to just store the bulbs in the basement crawl space over the winter(after it bloomed in the pot) and then plant it in the garden in spring. In fall, I stored the bulbs in the garage crawl space. Then I would put it in the pot around January. I think that's what I did.... I think. It's been a long, long time. Oh gee... I could just be imagining things. Sheesh!
