Amaryllis


Every year I go to White Flower Farm's bulb sale at the end of January and pick out a bunch of amaryllis bulbs.  This one is pretty tame and traditional (last year I had some funky, rippley, narrow-petaled green flowers!), but the size and quantity of the buds is impressive.  I have another bulb that's only gotten about 4 inches tall, and it was potted at the same time!  We'll see if that one ends up being the exotic one.  I sent one in to Syd's class so they could watch it grow, and Syd reports that it's VERY tall and is blooming!
