Amarylis time!

Denny enjoys planting amaryllis every year.  We used to keep them over and get them reblooming in the winter.  Once upon a time we had about a dozen to enjoy this way.  They love being packed into a large pot together and are so easy then to deal with outdoors in the summer while they gather energy again for winter joy!  That was before our AZ snowbird lifestyle.  

But this year I think the collection has started again now that we are MN snowbirds again!  He collected four of them this year.  One is a white one, and I don't recall we ever had one of those!  It was only $5 at Walmart and what a bargain.  Two stalks of flowers with a total of 9 blooms!  This year we kept them out of direct sunlight when they were in bloom and are amazed at how long those blooms are lasting!  Some got so tall that Denny went outdoors to borrow a few lily supports to use with them this year!
