Amarylis now in bloom

Re: Amarylis now in bloom

That's stunning Mags. My second one is now starting to bloom. They do look very majestic.

Re: Amarylis now in bloom

Thanks Annie that one is just over 3ft tall...

I would love to see your Amarylis when it's in bloom.

Re: Amarylis now in bloom

That's a beauty Mags.

I have a couple of these every year, but so far, have never had any luck getting them to re-bloom the next year, no matter how diligently I look after them.

Do yours ever bloom the following year?

Re: Amarylis now in bloom

I've had one that blooms the following year but you have to keep it on the window sill and look at the empty pot the whole year. I find that if you put them elsewhere in the meantime such as in the shed they don't oblige.

Re: Amarylis now in bloom

Thanks Mups i can’t get them to bloom the following year either - they just shoot up green leaves.
We used to have a member here (Dandysmom from USA) who used to grow them indoors and she used to plant them in her front garden after they had died. They flowered every year over there!

Re: Amarylis now in bloom

That is gorgeous, Mags.

Re: Amarylis now in bloom

Really beautiful specimen -- - must have administered a lot of TLC.

Great photo!

Re: Amarylis now in bloom

Thank you Tiff - it certainly brightens up a winter’s day.

Re: Amarylis now in bloom

Thanks Richmond, they are actually quite easy to grow.
