Good morning all. Lucy, that's great that you are continuing to have some bloom, in this case, your amaryllis! Praying the bad weather will soon subside.

Good morning Lucy and everyone else too!

Pam

I have a big red amaryllis getting ready to open, and another big bud on an unknown color - maybe pink. They're a joy in the middle of winter, aren't they?

Beautiful amaryllis!

Hello everyone been one long day.

Mom is home! It took all day, she is tried but happy.
And so am I.
Thanks for all the prayers. Keep them going
Hugs
Dorothy

You all COULD share pictures of yours ;-)

Dorothy that is the BEST NEWS!!!!!!! Give her a hug from me. She'll know it comes from someone who really wanted her to get better and come home.

HUGS

Beautiful flowers as always! wish I had some to share, but it is just too cold outside! even my pansies are shivering, refusing to open their pretty faces to the sun! We are looking at another week of COLD but at least it is easing a bit! (what was all that fuss about global warming?!?!? BRRRRR)

Dorothy Great News! Best wishes to you and your mom! try to stay warm!

Everone else I hope you will have a wonderful and warm evening!

Good night all

Pat

That's another pretty one. How many varieties do you have? I asked DH to bring home the spent bulbs from work instead of trashing them. I hope he remembers.

Susan those are beautiful! How great to share that love with so many of my friends!

good morning Pat lol

Karyn I am not sure...let me count them. I had bought a few at the last Co-Op Ryan co hosted at Dave's.

ha ha ha so is DH bringing them home with a tractor trailer? lol My heart almost broke when I saw that the sticks to hold the stems...were poked right into the bulb from you :-( But I am not sure if you saw it...it had a BABY bulb and it is growing !!! :-)

Lucy

Dorothy, what great news about your mom -- God bless you both!

Susan, those are beautiful amaryllis! I have six potted up that Elizabeth sent me last year and they are red; however, none has bloomed yet. I also have a Papillion. They are all outside so maybe I should bring them in to some warmth.

Lucy the stakes are always poked into the bulbs by the growers. They won't hold them up otherwise. If you get them from a nursery they'd never consider doing that but I've never had a problem with damage and have been getting them like that for over 20 years. Eloise I have a Papillion. It's the only one I've not tossed in the compost pile but I'm still waiting for it to bloom.

Karyn but will the bulb survive that and continue to grow for years...I hope!

got a papillon too.

don't they need cooler weather somehow at one point or another?
