Very beauteous and no one more surprised than me that it returned! Margaret, they are uploaded onto the forum and you said you could marry them up for me. Thank you for that. Not being skinflinty but I've worked it out that that plant is now effectively half price. I bought two more this winter a dramatic carmine and a pale pink and cream. Next winter it will be so exciting to try again. Best wishes amaryllis queens eveywhere xxxx Hello Margaret and everybody, Here, as promised, are my amaryllis snaps.

We were to have a cold front very early in February so I brought them inside to a sunny window with grow lights at night. I now have many blooms about to burst out, I'm so excited! I also had plants that had been forced to bloom around Christmas that were 2-3 years old. Last fall I placed them outside in a southern sunny spot. When the cold front came through I brought them inside to a sunny south window and wa la I now have blooms about to open. I'm not sure what the blooming schedule is, but I'm just tickled pink to have them bloom again. I left my hardy amaryrills outside the entire winter in it’s pot.

When I purchase new bulbs for Christmas -- and I always purchase new bulbs for Christmas -- it's with a thought to how well they're going to look in future Easter seasons. Margaret, I agree they have a mind of their own, so lots of nice surprises await. My new ones started blooming ten days ago and my collection will provide blooms until after Easter. :) Ah, Amaryllis for Easter!

I have one that likes to bloom really late, too, like yours apparently does. They do have a mind of their own, and some will resist any effort to train them into a particular blooming time it seems. Hard to guess when yours will bloom--is it sending up fresh foliage or has no foliage or ???? If it bloomed last April doubtful it will be an early one, as i needs most of the year to prepare itself again. Welcome, Marina.
