The pots for the Botanical gardens had the first bloom today. I looked at all the potted amaryllis for the botanical gardens closely today and I saw none that looked like they had red blotch. I think what I saw originally was just some damage from the digging and transplanting.
This first bloom has some freeze damage on it, the second bud on the scape I hope will be clear of any damage when it blooms.
I had the first blooms on my own amaryllis yesterday:
I have lots more that are getting near bloom stage. These are well established Amaryllis that have been in the ground for years. I divided some this past fall and they are just beginning to show some foliage, but looks like at least most of them survived the temps down in the teens. I did plant them deep and I think that protected them.
