I love amaryllis and bought several bulbs two Christmases ago. After they bloomed, I left them on the window sill, watering them occasionally.
Several days ago, I noticed something reddish-brown against the blinds. I was shocked to see that a bud was beginning to peek through. The plant hadn’t bloomed in more than a year.
Excitedly, I grabbed my camera and began documenting each day’s progress. Here’s day #4
As far as I know, amaryllis shouldn’t be blooming now, so I decided to check. According to Wikipedia, this is probably not an amaryllis at all but rather a hippeastrum, a flowering bulb that is able to bloom indoors.
But since it is blooming now, I taking it as a sure sign of Spring.
This is so beautiful
Thanks, Polly!
And thanks for stopping by.
Marcia I love them..gone to bed ..u know what i mean. Everytime i see them when i travel i am tempted to hide a bulb and bring home. They are just sooooo beautiful!
Aren’t they? And they’d probably do well in Jamaica.
