I cut the amaryllis down in mid-January, so they are going to be very late blooming. There are about 15 bulbs potted up in the light stand in the basement. They don't all bloom each year, but they are gorgeous when they do. They're going to get a little more fertilizer this year and maybe some time outdoors while they're actively growing - I'd like to see if I can get the bulbs a little plumper for next year's bloom season.SS 1/8, f8, ISO 100
if you send me one i will try not to kill it J/K. well they seem to be doing really good for being in the basement. i tried growing more than a few but i always manage to kill them =)
ReplyDeleteSpring is coming .... :)
ReplyDeletewow you sound like an expert gardener. I didn't know you could get them "plumper".. I don't think I've ever grown anything (successfully) and I'm very impressed! Great capture!
ReplyDeleteDon't you just love it when you see the green springing up. I love green...
ReplyDeleteI love this very hopeful post. I can't wait to see it when in finally blooms.
ReplyDeleteVERY cool! I love seeing the new plant growth especially with all the brown and white I've seen lately! I wish I were as good with plants as you are.

ReplyDeleteHow fun to see the green pop up, especially knowing how beautiful they'll be! I hope you photograph them in full bloom too. :)
ReplyDeleteAs a confirmed plant killer, I admire you. Can't wait to see the blooms.
