Winter Bulbs – Amaryllis

It’s been a few years since I started winter bulbs indoors. It’s such an fun, effortless way to enjoy flowers blooming in the dead of winter! And, so very rewarding!!

I bought 2 amaryllis bulbs but only one is blooming. The other bulb sat dormant until a couple of days ago. I took it out of its pot to examine the roots to see why it did not keep pace with the one above. There were 2 new roots emerging from the bottom of the bulb so I repotted it and watered it well and it finally started to grow. So, I will hopefully have another amaryllis in flower later on! While not planned – it is actually nice to have a “staggered” bloom time!
