Green Thumb Sunday

My Amaryllis is flowering right on time from its planting time. Started opening the first bud at the first of this week.
It has 5 buds. The blossoms are 6 inches across, each bloom is matching that size.
It has slowly opened over the last 5 days.
It has grown so tall I can't place it on the dining table , hits the chandelier.

So the amaryllis is in the living room where I get to enjoy watching the spectacular buds open.
Well worth the small amount of money paid for the beauty I see.
Wonder if I can keep this over for another Christmas?
Will try.

The amaryllis looks really pretty, how great that it bloomed on time!

Like your chandelier too!

Your Amarylis is such a beautiful color, and has more blooms than most I've tried in the past. I agree that these plants are one of the best buys at Christmas time. I also pick a few up after Christmas for sometimes as little as 10 cents, and then I'll have blooms for a few more weeks. Although I've never saved the bulbs for a second go-around, I understand it's very easy to do.
Thanks for letting me know you are a regular GTS participant. I appreciate your visits to my blog.
Have a wonderful Christmas holiday!
