That's an interesting looking hippi. I wish that mine were short. I had to cut off a half dozen stalks because they fell, even having been staked. They just got too tall.

talking about tall and heavy...had to do the same with yours:

Good morning all. Lucy, you don't want to hear about our weather. I just don't like posting about it when others are having such a hard time. Those flowers are beautiful, and the name Chico is so appropriate for that shorty, lol! Wow, the bloom on the third amaryllis is fantastic! Looks like an old fashion bouquet of flowers.

Eloise but it makes us feel good that SOMEWHERE, some of our friends are having good weather :-)

Trust me, I would NEVER freely cut off a bloom from a Amaryllis to put in a Vase...but like Karyn said...sometimes all the support is just not sufficient enough :-(

Lucy

TO D#@^ COLD!!!!
I was enjoying to warmer weather we had been having.
Now we are in the teens the next couple of nights 44 our high today!!!
I'm a southern girl and I do not like the freezing temp's.
YES, I know it's colder up north BUT I do not live up north!
OK I'm finished B*$@!ing!!!

Good Morning all!
Beautiful Amaryllis. I was late getting mine this year.
So hope to have some blooms later.
Stay Warm.
Hugs
Dorothy

Beautiful Amaryllis, mine got too tall this year also.

Brrrrrrrrrr is right!

Here in San Antonio we are expecting the coldest weather in 40 years. We might not get above freezing on Friday!

Many of the plants I brought in a few weeks ago are sprouting new leaves. The first hard freeze snuck up on us and I accidentally left the Duranta out and thought it was dead, but now it's sprouting new leaves. Even one small Brug cutting that got left out is now sprouting from the bottom even though the top is shriveled.

We'll be moving the Christmas lights over to the plants that are too big to bring in.

The brugs are all covered with buds, I hope most of them open before the deep freeze hits us. The majority of the plants will survive. Whatever happens it won't be as bad as Ike!

Ya just gotta role with the punches. When I think I might get depressed I think of how much worse it could be. And go out in the garden. No gardening this week except cold protection. At least I don't live in Alaska.
Tally HO!

Yupp that is what I say most of the times...it could be worse. But now matter how good you are at it...SOME THINGS will get to you and you just got to let it ride out and then get on with it.

It was great working outside for about 1 hour today.

I figured I better get busy and the sun was out so nicely. Cold...but NICE!

Lucy

I am freezing!!! Nuff said. Pretty bad when it is warmer in Seattle Washington than in Florida! GGGGRRRRRRRRR!

Very nice amaryllis Lucy.
Today was a very nice sunny day about 60*. I can't complain :-)). Perfect for this time of the year. Sorry for those who are freezing.

Pat

yeah bad new is....it is suppose to get worse before it hopefully gets better....SOON!

a big hug...that'll warm you up somewhat

Lucy

Beautiful flowers Lucy! Many of my stalks have snapped off too. Red peacock went into the vase tonight, lol. I spent the day cleaning up a car to sell. It was chilly but I figured I better get it done before it got any colder. I need to put out some more mulch tomorrow. I hope my duranta comes back.

I did not mulch a thing :-( I just have FAITH :-) and HOPE...not for a warmer weather the next few days though :-(
