Progress
The amaryllis flowers are going over now, but meanwhile the two bulbs I planted on January 11th are making progress. The one in the sitting room is growing steadily, almost visibly, but the conservatory bulb is sleepy and has barely started, so I’ve moved it to join its friend.
Allowing for six weeks to pass before flowering happens, we can hope for flowers just after St Valentine’s Day, and then, possibly, more in early March from the sleepy bulb.
What an
exciting life I lead!
Winter can be good for some things, lol. Like watching a bulb grow, a bit like watching a pot boil. But I look forward to you sharing photos of the incredible blossoms.
ReplyDeleteInteresting that you call is St Valentine’s Day. We don't say the Saint part over this wy.
ReplyDeleteI don't know how many Brits call it St Valentine's Day, though it is written thus in my diary. It is becoming more common to call it Valentine's here, but I'm so pedantic . . .
ReplyDeleteSomething to look forward to
ReplyDeleteBulbs are the most wonderful things, so much beauty from small things, enjoy your bloms.
ReplyDeleteWe've got our first snowdrops!
ReplyDeleteHi Janice - more than me, at the moment! Enjoy them ... cheers Hilary
ReplyDeleteYou made me go and look at my plant again. Green leaves but no sign of a flower. They will come. You'll see a photo on my blog one day no doubt.
ReplyDeleteFingers crossed for flowers at the expected time!
ReplyDeleteWell, I look forward to you sharing photographs when they bloom.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
Looking forward to seeing the flowers.
ReplyDeleteI love amaryllis, but have never had luck with them, so I will be admiring yours vicariously.
ReplyDeleteWatching flowers grow seems pretty entertaining me, but then I share tge same sort of exciting life!
ReplyDeleteIt's fun to watch things grow
ReplyDeleteYou're growing beauty and that's a good thing!!
ReplyDeleteWonderful! It will be lovely to see it bloom!
ReplyDeleteYour last line implies sarcasm, but let's be honest: micro pleasures are the best.
