Through the Years

I saved my amaryllis bulbs from last year, but haven't started any of them this year. I may do that this weekend when I'm once again in NJ, but for now, I'm taking a look back at some of the stellar floral displays from years past.










There were too many outstanding ones for me to choose between them, so you get a bunch. I've got four or five bulbs resting in my root cellar, but of course, I didn't label them, so they'll be a surprise. Now I'm anxious to get home and start them all!

  2. Your Amaryllis are always show stoppers! I am excited to see how they do this year - plus, the surprise element will be so much fun!

  4. Just realizing that I never got an amaryllis for myself this year which is testimony to the pace of life these last few months. Your plants are just lovely

  5. Gorgeous Bonny! We've got a bloom ready to burst from a grocery store or Wal-Mart purchase and another bought on line just starting to grow. Love the surprises!

  9. All the WOWs, Bonny and thank you so much for sharing! I always aim for late January blooms and I might've overshot this year (the stalks don't even need stakes so far) so it's lovely to start seeing blooms (even from years past) pop up elsewhere.

  12. You have quite a display of gorgeous blossoms! I adore my amaryllis every year and I've had one or the other blooming for the last 5 months. The current one has three stalks and all are the same height and everything is in full bloom. It looks like your fourth picture down (red and white). I have a bright orange one (Naranga-I love her!) and another I'm not sure what color it will be (I've forgotten what I bought). It's exciting to have something beautiful to distract me from the weather.
