Had to go to Walmart on Friday. They have NO boxed bulbs! Weird since last week they had a ton. But they did have potted amaryllis in bud. So, of course some jumped in my cart. $7.50. Minerva, orange soverign, bolero, red lion. I only bought Minerva X 1 & 2 bolero.
As you can see I'm off to a good start on feeding my addiction this year. Maas should have the rest of theirs in by Friday, my day off. Yesterday was perfect and I spent all day out in the garden. The amaryllis are all doing great, I forget how many I actually have planted out there.
Tally HO!

Tally, that's exactly how I feel too, like there's "bulbs and more bulbs" this time of year. Funny how fast those bulbs fly off the shelves - seems like we're not alone in our obsession! Alana

I've noticed that, too... I think they're gaining in popularity, especially now that more new varieties are hitting the market.

With a rise in popularity of anything comes the opportunist to make money from it... so buyer beware, because quality will begin to suffer.

I just purchased a bulb that has a hole in it... it looks suspiciously like NBF. It's going back to the store for a refund.

beachplant, I,too, bought a Bolero at WalMart last week. The flower has opened enough for me to know that it is NOT Bolero. It appears to have red or pink markings on a white or creamy white petal. If I can figure out how to post a picture, I will when it blooms and possibly get an ID. Good luck with yours. I really don't mind that it is not Bolero, but here's hoping it's something I don't have!

For $7.50 I don't really care either. It's cheaper than cut flowers and the bulbs will go out in my garden when they finish blooming. They all go out in the garden after blooming!LOL!
Tally HO!
