Thanks Hetty and Tee - a warm welcome is always appreciated. Smiling

When I was young, my grandma always had red Amaryllis growing in a concrete swan planter. I helped her bring them in to store in her basement every winter. When she passed away, I was lucky enough to snag her swan planter for myself, but it was in poor condition. The Amaryllis were long gone. My grown children snatched my swan this past summer while I wasn't looking and patched it all back together and surprised me at Christmas time - it's like new again. These Amaryllis will find a willing home and I just can't wait to continue the Amaryllis swan tradition. Hurray! Hurray!

Welcome Jill
Yes please post pics of the swan in bloom the nice thing about these are they will bloom this year when the soil is warm. if you keep in house or if outside protect from frost and freeze and you should have a real nice show. i caution you to not over crowd the planter you should get BIG bulbs that will produce 2 flower spikes this year. thanks for the order and hope you enjoy my co-ops Group hug

you are on spread sheet and its up to date every one i highlighted total if you have told me your payment method and your done ordering. BTW postal rates have gone up Grumbling Grumbling

Good evening Mike and all the flower lovers here.

I thought that I would brighten up my work place and give a few bulbs to co-workers. Bring Spring indoors.
I would like to order: 1 Matterhorn, 2 Minerva, 2 Red Lion, 2 Cocktail, 1 Wedding Dance. Will pay by PayPal.

Thanks.

My guess is 308

I love the amaryllis that I got in a previous coop from you. They are taking turns blooming. I love indoor blooms during the winter. I like to plant amarylis in heavy clay pots - they tend to topple plastic ones. I tried three bulbs in a big terra cotta pot. That is working out well, so I thought I would put a red, a white, a bicolor in each pot. I think I can fit two more pots somewhere....They may not bloom at the same time, but that is fine with me.

I would like to add one each of these bulbs...
Matterhorn - 28/30
Minerva - 28/30
Olaf - 28/30
Cocktail - 24/26
Merry Christmas - 24/26
Wedding Dance - 24/26

Mike I noticed a lot of minuses on the spreadsheet. Does this mean you are sold out? If not I want one of each please if so no worries.

My dear Friends Sandy text-ed me a little while ago and asked me to post for her.......I have been trying to figure out a way to say but there is no better way then just to say Chris passed this am at 10:08 with her friend (sandy and brandi) holding her hands......I sent a text back to her saying that we all send out our condolences to her and her family. and we continue to keep them all in our thoughts and prayers.

god bless them all and all of you for your support you have shown then in this horrible time of need


MAY YOU REST IN PEACE CHRIS
