I'm so glad she had good luck with keeping her amaryllis bulb! <BR/>Let's see...now I'm the Procrastinating Amaryllis Queen...LOL<BR/><BR/><B>Shibaguyz ~ </B>'Royal Velvet' is just stunning, isn't it? Believe it or not, I found that one at Walmart a couple of years ago!<BR/><BR/><B>buedamau ~ </B>'Dancing Queen'is really one of my favorites, too. I love the doubles a lot.<BR/><BR/><B>Lisa ~ </B>I love each and every one. It was easy to attain collector's status with these!<BR/><BR/><B>Barbarapc ~ </B>Welcome to Our Little Acre! 'Papilio' really is unique and exquisite. It was the first amaryllis I ever bought. I think you will have no problems keeping them from year to year. They really are easy plants to grow and take care of!<BR/><BR/><B>Cosmo ~ </B>Once in awhile, one will bloom in the summer, but not usually. They're just dramatic flowers, aren't they?<BR/><BR/><B>Cameron ~ </B>Oh wow, I'll bet that garden in Greensboro was breathtaking! I've seen them growing in Florida in bunches and they're gorgeous.<BR/><BR/><B>flydragon ~ </B>Thank you for visiting and I'm glad you enjoyed them! :-)<BR/><BR/><B>perennialgardener ~ </B>Yes, you DO need to get at least one and try it. They really are easy!<BR/><BR/><B>Anna ~ </B>They do bring a lot of indoor color at a time when we need it.<BR/><BR/><B>Nancy ~ </B>I think that's a great tradition! There are so many different ones available now.<BR/><BR/><B>Gail ~ </B>'Piquant' is especially nice. It was a sad bulb when I found it at Lowe's a couple of years ago and I wasn't sure it would make it, but it has improved since those days. They are pretty easy bulbs to grow.<BR/><BR/><B>Sue ~ </B>Thank you! If you knew how many photos of them there are on my hard drive, you'd be amazed. They just are so beautiful, I love taking pictures of them from all angles.<BR/><BR/><B>Kim ~ </B>I've gotten most of my bulbs from <A HREF="http://www.amaryllis.com" REL="nofollow">The Amaryllis Company</A>. The bulbs they send are huge (depending on the type) and I've always had great service and luck with them. The price is better than most, too. <BR/><BR/>The first winter I had 'Red Velvet', every once in awhile, I'd stop as I walked past it and say out loud, "Wow, I just can't believe how beautiful and rich that color is!" Finally, Romie said, "I'm glad it's making you so happy."

And the cybister called 'Lima' (I think) in the WFF catalog is amazing, too.<BR/><BR/>But that 'Red Velvet' is a stunner. I'm glad you showed such a close-up of the soft leaf texture on that one.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14395380166485303934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3070488376505303445.post-76461899909678655972008-11-17T22:53:00.000-05:002008-11-17T22:53:00.000-05:00Wow!

They're all beautiful, but some, I hadn't seen. I always make a gift of an amaryllis to my parents every Christmas. It's become one of those funky little traditions.

Your photos are so enticing...perhaps I can try again since we have more space here for indoor plants. <BR/><BR/>I saw a garden in Greensboro this summer where the amaryllis were blooming in the ground en masse! I was taken with it so much. Your instructions are helpful about keeping them over the summer.<BR/><BR/>Many thanks,<BR/>CameronF Cameronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14558874651743241988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3070488376505303445.post-18215172631289368282008-11-17T09:01:00.000-05:002008-11-17T09:01:00.000-05:00Until I reached the end of your posting, I was goi...Until I reached the end of your posting, I was going to ask you how you got them to rebloom in December--but I see you do the same thing I do, and they come back in the summer.

What terrific photos - I'm growing Papillio this year - now yours looks a little different from the glamour shot on the package - but still exceptionally lovely. When I see people hold onto these successfully from year to year - I really want to try to do the same.

My Mom used to throw the bulb away once it had finished flowering but last year I told her about the way you do things and guess what? When she received the new bulb she told me that she had used your system with the previous one and that it had flowered again. Then she showed me that bulb and it had produced another green stalk so it will flower again soon. So thank s Kylee for all the info on Amaryllis bulbs. For me you are the Amaryllis queen. ;-)<BR/><BR/>BTW lovely pics of a wonderful collection of beautiful Amaryllis flowers.Yolanda Elizabet Heuzenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02506031220151023088noreply@blogger.com
