Picture Of The Week (POW) Information & Submissions

I hybridized somme Amaryllis flowers years ago. The seedlings are grown and now blooming like crazy.. What a great way to get through the cold spring with these blooms in my greenhouse. Everyday something new opens. Maybe not too special, but special to me.View attachment 34673

i try to time mine so they will bloom towards the end of March. i start watering one plant at a certain time and then each week from that time on i start watering a new one so that it helps space out the blooms. i only have the one kind so far. should have my first few blooms in the next few days.

also i've found out that putting the bulbs in a terra cotta pot delays them quite a while. perhaps the roots die back a lot more that ways than in the other pots i'm using (which are non-permiable).

I do not make any plans for their bloom time. I bring them in after a summer outdoors, allow the foliage to dry up. annd then start watering. They make their own magic!
