Amarylis

My new Amarylis in full bloom....

Re: Amarylis

Wow! Meg, that is brilliant. Better than anything I've grown. What lovely colours, is that a third flower behind?

Re: Amarylis

Thanks Mary, there are five flower heads on it and the stalk is 19" tall!

Unfortunately I've forgotten the name of it, so if anyone can help I would be very grateful.

Re: Amarylis

That's stunning Meg, we usually grow them but for some reason haven't bothered this year....now if I could just remember what that reason was ....

Re: Amarylis

That's beautiful Mags......made me realise that I was resting mine in the greenhouse. What's the betting I've lost it I'm going to check it in the morning.

Re: Amarylis

Thanks Janela You'll be surprised at how hardy the bulbs are, I had one out in a cool room, I planted it in some compost and brought it indoors last week ..... there wasn't a trace of green on it then but now I can see the beginning of a green leaf peeping up ...... I'm keeping my fingers that one may flower as well

Re: Amarylis

That's good, Mags. I'll give it a go tomorrow. Fingers crossed for you

Re: Amarylis

Have a look in your shed Barry, I found a couple in there during the summer which I'd forgotten all about.

Re: Amarylis

That's lovely Mags a beautiful colour..

Re: Amarylis

That is beautiful Mags, and the colours are stunning!
