Tally, I picked up 6 amaryllis bulbs yesterday. All of them were unlabeled, but have huge bloom stalks. What a deal!!!

I had to go to the pet store so picked up 6 more of the giant bulbs, 2 boxed White Christmas, one Ragtime and 4 of the smaller potted amaryllis. I want to fill a big pot on the back deck with ragtime and one bed in the front with the giant bulbs. It was just too good of a deal. It doesn't look like they sold many. I opened a couple of the boxes and all the bulbs were decent size, healthy and none had bloomed yet. Sale through the 9th.
Tally HO!

Tally, all we have here in San Antonio, is Lowes, you are so lucky. I will be going to Galveston the end of February. My husband goes every year for IFSAC meetings. Since I am retired, this will be my first time going to Galveston. Would you be able to recommend any good nurseries, or gardens that I can go to. We will be there from Feb 26, thru March 3rd.

Dang, we have no amaryllis avaiable on the island. I wish there a venue where I could sell them ready to bloom in the winter, LOL. My roadside stand would not do at the 22-33 degree temperatures F it has been outside all this past week! Our grocery did have some in pots but they are all one variety, a dark red. I am just going to have to order some at full price.

I solved the freezing greenhouse problem by realizing that I could use the propane heater in addition to the electric when the temp is this low. It has taken most of a 5 gallon canister of propane for the past 5 nights, but kept the temp up from 46-72 at night with the thermostat for the electric set at 80 and the propane on low. Not too efficient but the temp is set to rise over nighttime freezing in a day or two. IN the meantime, my budded amaryllis have LOVED the heat!

Barb, drop me a line and we'll tour the island. No nurseries on the island but one, it's OK, good selection usually but very high prices.
On the mainland tons of places and they should start getting in plants soon. Maas, Josephs, Sunland, Somewhere in Time....
Tally HO!

Tally, I'll bring you some of the plants from my yard when I come down. By then plants should be coming back from the roots. Do you have a Moy Grande, or Lord Baltimore? Barbra

Neither!
Tally HO!
