Flowers in Bloom

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas.

It was very quite here, which was a nice change.

An amaryllis bulb was on my Christmas list this year and

I received three, the one from my middle son arrived early as it was growing in the box.

Poor thing was shaped like an S and white in color.

We planted it up and put it in the window and it bloomed in time for Christmas.

 

It is a double called Pasadena, a beautiful red and white.

 There is another bud coming between the two flowers.

I am hoping this bud will open before the first blooms die off.
But if not, there is another shoot coming from the base.

It is determined to bloom, even with its' poor start.

The second amaryllis was my Dads', it was given to him in the hospital

and it has put up another flower bud. It is the same color as Pasadena but is a single bloom.

The third is still in the box, no activity from that bulb.

I would like to plant it the middle of January.

It has a pink bloom and would look great in February.

I received some other wonderful gardening gifts and will keep them for another post.

Did you receive any great gardening gifts?
