A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The House Plant Forum My New amaryllis is blooming.......

My gift Amaryllis has just started to bloom today.
It was a present from a good buddy.

It looks like velvet I think..I thanked her .
:ding:

Oh my, that is beautiful Barb.

Exactly when do you plant it to bloom this time of year. I've seen the kits in the store but have never bought one.

:ding:

That was sent to me in the mail about 2 weeks ago.. It was in bud and she had staked it ...........I have no idea when they were planted....She said it was a new color....Red??????

Will have to ask.

Thanks for looking..

Wow! That's gorgeous. I've never seen one that shade of velvety red before. They usually take about 4 to 5 weeks to bloom from time of planting, depending on how much it had started to grow when planted. Often they have already started to grow some in the box when you get them.

i love that. it is beautiful!

:ding:

Thanks Alan , thanks Jiff......

It was sent already potted and staked....All I did was water it .. It came from Maryland and that is close to Pa.......

I was so shocked....She said it is a new color......I too call it Velvet..

Thanks again.

Merry Christmas........... :ding: :ding: :ding:

Carol, I bought a red lion from the store and its growing...we'll just have to wait and see

Barb that is a spectacular colour! I love the rich red colour. I have a white one in bloom but it only has one flower and another small bud

Thanks Kenny,

I was just reading about them on here.. THey claim they are hard to rebloom.
Years ago I had one and made it rebloom.2 times only.

THey say the bigger the bulb the more blooms......I hope I can make it survive.
They like a crowded pot it says. With just the shoulders sticking out.

i have them planted in my yard. they will bloom around easter. love them.

Lucky Jiffy to have the perfect weather----
remember us with photo's when they bloom---

I'll be waiting for a picture, Kenny.

i will. they have had enough green that they should be pretty awesome this year!

Then you put the canon to work for us....................
We wanna see.........
