I have some indoor ones at an east-facing window. They're not very good about reblooming. They're kind of lanky, too, so I'm thinking they don't get enough sun. I'd plant them outside but I don't have the space.

Nice view Margaret! Amaryllis' enhance the view.

Such a heavenly view Margaret! Some of my amaryllises are outdoors..thankful we got some rain, they love that..now to look around and see if those disgusting snails and slugs will come out.

Margaret: What a magnificent mountain view out of your bay window! Your A. bulbs must love the place they got and give you the reward of their blooms. You the one!

Tarev, Yeah horrible S&S! The other day I scattered some poison feeds to cover my patio and front yard trying to kill those s&s and it worked that lot dead showed up around the plants (leaves like Amaryllis' with blue fan-like flowers in summer) in front yard... Yet, this morning I went out and looked seeing some live ones coming and up to the plants again!!! So disgusting

it is a never ending battle with those s&s fiat..

Thanks everyone, yes we have a lovely view, the downside to the bay window facing SW is that we broil in the living room in the summer even with the drapes closed.

It's been too dry for S&S here, I guess. I haven't seen any this year but I must not be lulled into a false sense of security.

famous last words...

Well, maybe one more.

Margaret, Lovely blooms and view. Of course, there's always room for one more amaryllis!

Wow! There sure are some really lovely blooming amaryllis posted on this thread! I couldn't even pick a favorite if I had to!

My first bloom of this year. Is this cultivar Apple Blossom?

Becky, yes, it looks like Apple Blossom to me, and that's a lovely photo, sure wish I could grow amaryllis in the garden.

Thanks, Margaret for the ID. Naturally, the big box stores plants are often just a plant family label, not cultivar. (sigh)

Your welcome. At least that is a lovely one you got, and it is fun to get a nice surprise, and of course there is always a change of not getting what you ordered from the bulb companies too.

Lemon Star from White Flower Farms. The last one of my new bulbs for the season. A medium sized pale lemon-lime bloom, not showy, but a lovely color. All 8 buds opened at once to make an extravagant display. The replacement Fiesta from White Flower Farms should be blooming in about a week. Even in bud, it looks so much healthier than did the first bulb. I think that the original Fiesta, that I received, was just a bad bulb.

Barbara, those are lovely blooms. Glad to hear that your Fiesta is a better bulb.

I posted a picture of the Amaryllis below some time back but didn't have the name then,..i contacted the person who gave it to me and they produced the box it was in,..nice to finally put a name to it.

Amaryllis,..'Arctic White'.

Philip, that's great that you got the name, it is a lovely one.

Thank you Margaret,..not having the name bugged me,..i just wish i had names for many of my roses but when you are presented with a plant with no name one has to look pleased and not say ohhh don't you have a name for those
