Did y'all see this sale on the Group Buy forum? The thread "Amaryllis Sale" in Classifieds and Group Buys forum

Thanks Lin, I saw it but didn't order as not all places ship to Canada. I did order 4 bulbs from Royal Colors, I got, Violetta, Stardust, Charisma and Sweet Nymph. I hope they are as pretty as their photos show. That will make a dozen plants, I think that's about all of the space I have in the window, so no more.

Want to bet?

Margaret: You are going to have the prettiest windows in BC!
I had to look up Violetta, Stardust and Sweet Nymph ... WOW ... gorgeous! I might just have to place another Amaryllis order.

Lin, do you have a greenhouse or keep them in the ground all year?

No greenhouse; I have a big Red LIon in ground and another that I can't remember the name of and I have a couple in containers too. I used to have a bunch but gave most of them to my sister a couple of years ago; she lives in south Florida and they do really well in the ground there!

Hippeastrum 'Estella' .................. and 'Jewel'(which has a very faint fragrance):


'Charisma' has a bud as does another that I think is 'Apple Blossom' but I can't be sure until the bloom opens. It's one I dug from the yard a couple of months ago and the label/tag is long gone.

Lin, they are lovely!

So far all from Royal Colors, Sweet Nymph is blooming, it had 2 nice stalks and is getting a third between the others. Violetta should open in a few days, Stardust has 2 stalks with large buds buds and Charisma has one bloom stalk which is still very short.

Sweet Nymph

Margaret, that is one of the prettiest Amaryllis I've ever seen, and so many flowers at once ... gorgeous!

Thank you Lin! The buds are splitting apart this morning on Violetta and I am really excited to see the blooms open, going to be a few days though.
