One of my Amaryllis in flower
Comments on this photo
This particular one seems to be a miniature variety, it is less than a foot tall! The taller, double ones are more difficult and top heavy and sometimes - unless I remember to weigh the pot down - they have been known to topple over and end up on the floor! I haven't ever had a droopy one, though.

Oh droopy ones come along once in a while lol Bad choice of word on my part!! I've often found that the head seems too heavy for the stem, and the stem bends under the weight. So less 'droopy' and more nodding

This is gorgeous Spritz. I'm awaiting a double I got this year to open up. I hope to have it look this good!
