The buds peek out through the bulbs, but the picture is several days old and the stalks are now 5" tall! The plants are growing quickly and the plan to fill my life with color, beauty, and light is going forward beautifully!
In all the rush of the season, don't forget to do something, just one little thing, for yourself.

I bought a boxed amaryllis bulb, but haven't "planted " it yet. Can't wait to watch it grow!

Beautiful! It's so fun to watch them grow.

Oh, very fun. I haven't had an amaryllis in a few years. I can't wait to see!!

If I could figure out a non-toxic plant that the kitties hated, I would definitely buy myself a new plant.
Rest in peace, grape ivy.

Wow, look how big the buds were even then! Do you know what color(s) they are?

I am always amazed to see how much they grow when I am not looking:) Mine won't be Christmas blooms, but maybe one or two by New Years.

Over here Christmas time is not as rushed as it is in the US, I think, but still... a lovely reminder.
