Scaffolding
Shortly after being photographed, the amaryllis fell over. Scaffolding was erected hastily. Earth was added to the pot and it looks much happier now.
Meanwhile, the sitting room bulb continues to push forth its green shoots, The one in the conservatory is far behind.
Why would the stalk collapse before the flower had finished blooming? It's nature.
ReplyDeleteIt was top heavy and overbalanced,
ReplyDeleteAmaryllis can be quite top heavy plants. I'm glad you managed to take some good photos before you had to resort to a bit of extra support with the scaffolding. Beautiful colour.
ReplyDeleteReally stunning, I love these blooms, I often have to prop them up, I also turn them often to keep the stem upright.
ReplyDeleteIt is so beautiful. I'm glad that you found it before it wilted and were able to get it nursed back into standing position.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous photographs against the curtain. Stunning.
ReplyDeleteHi Janice - they are beautiful, but do need propping up as you've done... wonderful to see - cheers Hilary
