Not that palatable to me, but to each their own. Being in the nightshade family, I wouldn't try them without knowing the exact species. I planted them knowing they would be invasive. My aunt does a lot of flower arranging and uses a lot of the dried lanterns (which also helps ensure I don't get tons of seedlings).

Today my DH & I were at the local LOWE'S and guess waht I found--for $2.00 ??? I bought an Amaryllis---"Minerva" It is Red with White strips I guess I should have blooms by say the end of january !!! (If it lives) Ok so here is the deal-- I snapped one of the 2 leaves--but now the one remaining "leave" seems to be dying. In the mean time the base of the bulb seems to be getting more greenery---could other leaves be growing ?/ do I keep watering it once a week until it all is definatley dead---or growing well ??? ________ Life isn't about how to survive the storm, but how to dance in the rain!! .....

But as the flowers are red with white stripes, I guess the timing is appropriate. ________ Life isn't about how to survive the storm, but how to dance in the rain!! .....
