Oh, thanks for this! I’m headed there to shop today so will look. I bought a bunch of the Christmas ones for hostess gifts. I was at a St Patrick’s party and one I had given was still in full bloom!

Thanks for mentioning this! I want to try decoupaging an amaryllis bulb so will stop by there soon.

Love the idea of decoupaging a bulb, Bluebell. Please share a photo if you do!

Darn, I was just there this morning, but I didn’t see them.

My husband picked up a couple of amaryllis from TJ for me. Unfortunately, they are too tiny and really misshapen so won't work very well for my decoupage ideas. They don't look anything like the nice round ones they sell at Christmas-time.

Oh that's too bad Bluebell. The ones I saw were large and well shaped. I should try to get back and see what's left.

I got one, It is large and nicely shaped but I didn't love the pastel colors. Wish they had gold

I went back Tuesday and they still had a lot of large ones. Picked up a couple for my mother. She loved the ones at Christmas.

Mtn, I spray painted some at Christmas. Very easy if you want them gold!

I gave all of my kids waxed amaryllis bulbs for Easter and they were a big hit! Yes, even my son. Out of the blue a week or two ago we were talking about flowers for some unrelated reason and he said "even I would like to receive flowers" so I figured, ok, here you go. Of course I knew the girls would like flowers, but I was surprised how much they were all taken with them. I guess everyone likes to watch things grow! Meanwhile the one I got for thanksgiving is no longer blooming but has lovely green leaves. DH is wracked with anguish that I have not broken it from its wax prison, fed, watered and re-homed it.

Anyway, thx so much for the idea; they were the highlight of an otherwise lame easter. The Marie Kondo-ing of our basement has led to the mysterious disappearance of our Easter baskets, so we had Easter bags.

I bought some, one for me and others for friends. I took one as a hostess gift to a friend and they lamented that they are poison to cats - they have an incorrigible cat that would get at it wherever they might put it and who chews on every plant. So I suggested they take it to the mother in assisted living. It was perfect for her, no watering, just watching it grow and enjoying the blossoms. Mine has put out an amazing amount of greenery with a blossom already forming, after only about 1.5 weeks in the house. Can't wait for it to bloom.

None of us have cats, but good to know.

My kids are measuring theirs every day, debating optimal lighting, and having a race. Who knew?
