BIRD FARM SOUTHAmaryllis
OK, OK I know, amaryllis are everywhere. But they DO
bring some flamboyant bloom into the dead of winter when
we need it most. I just LOVE the way they bloom like crazy.
You can always count on one bulb to give you 3 to 5
magnificent blossoms. I picked a few up at Lowe's this
winter and planted them right away.
The first 2 bulbs threw up a lovely blossom stem and each
had 4 or 5 red blooms. I was delighted and they did indeed
brighten my dining room table for a couple weeks.
The third bulb just sort of sat there in it's pot. I waited until I was
afraid it would die of thirst before I watered it the second time.
Then things got interesting. Man O Man did they. Take a look-
I dunno if you can see from this photo, there are three blossom
stalks on this bulb. Only two of them are blooming in this shot.
The third stalk threw 4 blossoms a week after the other two faded.
Three...hell, I always felt lucky to get two. This bulb is just a big
old overachiever. The best part is that she is making two baby
bulbs. I'm so glad.
I think that amaryllis blooms help us get through winter. Thank you bulbs.
