Charles Gramlich, I am not quite sure if my spelling is right. ;-)
Barbara Martin, I plant several bulbs every winter, carefully selecting the color, whites only. Well, this one not only blooms way ahead of the others, it also turned out to be red. *smile*
I wasn't able to force my Amaryllis this year in time for Christmas - a tradition for me. They're so beautiful. Will get some bulbs as soon as I can and at least have them for January. In the meantime I'll enjoy these from your magnificent city. Catherine
Such a gorgeous red! My amaryllis from last Christmas is residing under my kitchen sink in the dark... I shall get it out at Christmas and give it some water, and see if it will bloom again... I hope so!
yes! amaryllis. I have two in my room. both blooming right now. One is a pink and white. The other is red and white. Pink has 5 flowers on it! I never seen that before.
A Thousand Clapping Hands, I never managed to get a repeat performance out of my Amaryllis, and lately I simply give them away when they stop blooming.
I have planted them later in December, to have them blooming after I take the Christmas tree down. This year, I simply did not want to wait. ;-)
Pink Clouds and Red Amaryllis
I've always enjoyed the sound of that flower name, although I'm still not sure I can pronounce it right myself.
ReplyDeleteAmaryllis are one of my favourite flowers for Christmas. Beautiful photos.
