Ken, since the pots are massed together, the display is spectacular from late Feb though mid May. However June through Jan, the pots are in various stages of fairly chaotic vegetative growth, sitting in a utility area of the property. The pots are not distracting from the appearance of the more formal landscape. Works well for my situation. Amaryllis bulbs are a part of a group that contain two toxic substances; phenanthridine alkaloids and raphide oxalate. These, eaten in large amounts. can cause digestive issues, such as vomiting, excess drooling, and belly ache. Also some hypotension and neurological issues. If a dog chews on a few leaves, he is probably going to drool, but if he eats a bulb, there could be issues. Warning bells went off in my head, when I saw the puppy tearing up the bed of bulbs.
