Amaryllis

18 years ago

I have been impatiently waiting for some blooms. Blossom Peacock is the first one to open. It also has a very nice scent.



Anyone else growing Amaryllis?

    Gorgeous alright!

    I've never grown one ;)

    Shelley, this is a very nice one!

    I have a collection of amaryllis. I moved them to greenhouse last spring and most of them rebloomed in the summer for me. They are in storage for the winter. They will be brought out at some point after the holidays and planted for spring and summer blooms.

    Of course I probably won't be able to resist the sale on bulbs so may have some blooming before then. :)

    Another one opened today. It doesn't have a scent, but the blooms are huge. They measure over 8". It is hard to capture how the red sparkles.

    I would like to introduce you to Sydney.

    Well, hello Sydney! Just stunning Shelley!

    I finally did get around to take a picture of mine that's blooming now. I don't know the name of it though.

    Ackkk..Now how am I going to get past the amarylis when I go shopping?..my Apple Blossom one is lonely in the plant room with just her babies. They are beautiful amarylis ladies

    I really like your Amaryllis Laurie. It kind of looks like Apple Blossom.

    This one is one of the 2 that I had last winter. I looked after them terribly this summer and they were left outside to endure some frost. But they didn't seem to mind the neglect.
    In fact this particular one has a baby.

    Hermitage is really pretty too, Shelley! Mine very well could be Apple Blossom, as it probably came from a box store where those seem to be a popular variety.

    I've got another one that will soon be opening. I think it's an all red one. It'll be nice to have one blooming for Christmas day for a change!lol

    This Amaryllis blessed me with blooms at Christmas. This is the other badly neglected bulb. I guess I didn't do too bad because this one is already sending up another flower stalk.

    Hercules, another amaryllis is blooming. And so is Charisma again.

    I really like the pink.
