Amaryllis Watch!
I got this package on Saturday, and at first I wondered what the "Steve" sticker meant. Then I paid attention to who it was from, and forgot all about Steve. A delivery from White Flower Farm is always exciting!
They sure do know how to package plants securely.
I ordered two Happy Nymph amaryllis bulbs. I've also go another delivery coming today with one Bright Nymph amaryllis. When I ordered this combination, I thought they would look nice together. The Happy Nymph bulbs are red and white peppermint striped, and the Bright Nymph is a solid red. The more I think about it, the more I think I'll give the solid red one to my mother-in-law. It's her favorite color, and last year she received an amaryllis bulb that never got a flower stalk. She was so disappointed that she talked about it until June, so hopefully this one will brighten up her life.
These two don't look like much so far, but hopefully there will be more to look at than just sphagnum moss in a few weeks!
Oooh, exciting! I still want to know who Steve is, though. ;-)
ReplyDeleteMy package will arrive today. I already have 5 bulbs from the local nursery started and one in full bloom (from White Flower Farms last shipment). My dream of an amaryllis forrest is coming true!
ReplyDeleteOOOO! That looks promising!
ReplyDelete"...she talked about it until June." Hahahahaha. Give her something to REALLY talk about, Bonny!! :)
ReplyDeleteMy box of 3 amaryllis bulbs came on Saturday. I've left the in the mudroom for now, hoping to delay their bloom time for a it.
ReplyDeleteSo nice!!! Like Vicki, I laughed over the "talking about it till June!" I'm hoping to get to a local nursery this weekend to pick some up as I want to send some as gifts (and some for us!).
ReplyDeleteAnticipation is a great feeling, and I know your bulbs will produce beautiful flowers. I am counting on an update as they begin to fulfill their promise. Happy Monday!
ReplyDeleteI think Doug finally got them ordered yesterday. Looking forward to all that loveliness!
ReplyDeleteWith your green thumb, the bulbs are bound to bloom and thrive. How nice to have them to look forward to as the days get shorter and colder.
ReplyDeletenow I know it's Christmas :) I love when you do your amaryllis watch!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE seeing all the amaryllis pop up this time of year ... and I've got to imagine a bulb from White Flower Farm will have your MIL talking out all the blooms until June (or August ;-)
