In bloom

One of my other amaryllis has bloomed for the season. They have been a funny bunch this year. Out of the three I potted; the first one: has a marvelous collection of leaves, full, lush and green, but not a bud stem in sight. (I figured out why, but we don’t need to get into that.) The second: had rather flimsy leaves, with a single bud stem which displayed two white flowers. The Third: would be considered a rock star. Honestly I didn’t have high hopes for this one at the beginning of the winter. The life inside stayed on a non-growing strike for weeks. Number two was just about in full bloom before number three decided it would do anything this year. It turns out that it would grow 3 bud stems and each with 3 flowers…with very little leaves. It made me laugh because of how very different each one of them turned out.
