Amaryllis

Its a lovely colour.

Thanks it as 4 flowers on this stem and 2 more buds to open up.

Beautiful

Cheers Yorkshire.

I've never grown one of these, I always look at them in the garden centre, and then don't do anything, I'm afraid I'll kill it....:((((

it's lovely, and so may blooms...

Thanks Crissue, theres another stem growing on it, so should get more flowers.

How lovely...I admire from afar lol....

thats a pretty colour

This is a lovely one Clarice, we usually get given a couple for Xmas but not as nice as this I must admit.
Crissue, Im notorious for killing indoor plants but these manage grown despite my best efforts! Should be a doddle for you.

I like the colour too :)))))))))))))))))))))

I'm awful Tetra...I'm doing well on the Zonals so far that I brought in from the baskets displays...and a Cacti, or what I think is a cacti...and one succulent...that's it...:)))

It's just gorgeous!

Thanks everyone, this was suppose to be xmas time when it opened up.

Bonus for you then....:))) nice...x

:o))

Well done Carol its lovely and like the colour too;0)

A beautiful stem of Amaryllis flowers, Clarice! :-))

I've been growing them for many, many years, Crissue, & have hardly been a year without them since my sister gave me my first ever bulb as a Christmas present in 1981!

I've written several blogs on these lovely bulbs, my 2nd blog on GoY was on Amaryllis if you want to have a look at my blogs.

Thanks, theres another stem growing at the side of this, but theres no leaves

Wow it's lovely Carol and to have it flower early is a bonus :o)

Thanks balcony will have a read, thankyou....:))

To Crissue: Here is a link to a page on the care of these bulbs by an American company that specializes in the plants:

I'm on their email list & so get updates frequently. They have some stunning flower on their site!

Wonderful colours and patterns on the petals, Clarice :o)

TT the other stem that was growing at the side of it as reached these flowers but still in tight bud.

You've done so well from the one bulb !

Its amazed me, how well its doing.

I found a bulb on the 2nd bedroom windowsill that has a bud well out of the bulb! I thought I might have seen a flower bud on one bulb when I brought them home from the allotment. I couldn't be 100% sure as the leaves sometimes look like the bud when still in the neck of the bulb. When it flowers I'll post a photo!

Thanks Balcony....

Cheers.

Checked the bulb today & the stem is about 20cm high already!
