A very good morning to all GW'lers and friends

I AM NOT GOING OUTSIDE today and Karyn I think I go visit Florida too lol

Wonder if Chocolate Brug's American Pride is a goner or not?

At least with having a few new Amaryllis'...I get to enjoy SOME beauty right now. More to come.
{{gwi:443605}}From POTD January 2010

Amaryllis Santos

I have this one, Emerald, Misty and 2 others in a huge flat big pot...the sizes are perfect from small to tall and now I just wish I could have it where I see it more and not just in the green room.

I hope that none of you will get hurt by this horrible weather that is going around the world.

Hope you will find some joy tody

Good morning all. Lucy, that's great that you are continuing to have some bloom, in this case, your amaryllis! Praying the bad weather will soon subside.

I cross..............my fingers that you will be able to FLY!!! To get away from your weather...ha ha ha you know, you will probably be the one person in all of Florida who is happy about the weather when you get there roflmao. Eloise I can't do that...cause the phone numbers from germany do not show up and they do not wait for me to use the answering machine. Besides..I still have not programmed it ha ha ha I did take some pollen and put it on 2 others this morning...not sure if it will still take since I waited so long :-( Lucy

Good morning Lucy. No hangover here! But sure have a headache! Was planning on a quit night at home. Setting outside by the fire with DH. Ending up spending the night in the ER with HB having chest pain. Said they thought it was form stress but wanted him to stay. But the hard head checked himself out! He is going to follow up with his heart Dr. Anyway, hope your new years eve was better. Keep me and him in your prayers. I sure hope the worst is over and we have a better year ahead. Mom should be coming home this week. Thanks for the prayers. She is doing so much better. Up walking around, eating and all. Still needs a little walk on the stairs. But getting there. She is sure ready to come home. ANYWAY! Happy New Year to all. Please kept My family and me in your prayers for a good year to come. Love and hugs Dorothy

Ooh! Ooh! Ooh! Very beautiful lady there. Try for the seeds. I've just started planting amaryllis seeds this year. Germination rate has been excellent with fresh seeds. I have even managed to germinate some old seeds. The link has another link in the bottom portion of the text. I used the info on sowing and germinating the seeds to get started. (Don't know why I'm giving you this info. You probably know how to do all of this anyway. Maybe someone else looking at your photo will want the info.) Here is a link that might be useful: Amaryllis pollination and seeds

Amarillis---- I used to get a potted blooming one every Christmas from somebody, for several years. I guess that person finally realized that I wasn't doing anything with them, after they finished blooming. That's when I had other interests, - not gardening. What I would give today, to have them all back! They were beautiful! On second thought, -- yet some more pots on the patio?? I don't think so!! Ingrid

I have a big red amaryllis getting ready to open, and another big bud on an unknown color - maybe pink. They're a joy in the middle of winter, aren't they?

Beautiful flowers as always! wish I had some to share, but it is just too cold outside! even my pansies are shivering, refusing to open their pretty faces to the sun! We are looking at another week of COLD but at least it is easing a bit! (what was all that fuss about global warming?!?!? BRRRRR)

Dorothy Great News! Best wishes to you and your mom! try to stay warm!

Everone else I hope you will have a wonderful and warm evening!

That's another pretty one. How many varieties do you have? I asked DH to bring home the spent bulbs from work instead of trashing them. I hope he remembers.

Susan those are beautiful! How great to share that love with so many of my friends!

good morning Pat lol

Karyn I am not sure...let me count them. I had bought a few at the last Co-Op Ryan co hosted at Dave's.

ha ha ha so is DH bringing them home with a tractor trailer? lol My heart almost broke when I saw that the sticks to hold the stems...were poked right into the bulb from you :-( But I am not sure if you saw it...it had a BABY bulb and it is growing !!! :-)

Dorothy, what great news about your mom -- God bless you both!

Susan, those are beautiful amaryllis! I have six potted up that Elizabeth sent me last year and they are red; however, none has bloomed yet. I also have a Papillion. They are all outside so maybe I should bring them in to some warmth.

Lucy the stakes are always poked into the bulbs by the growers. They won't hold them up otherwise. If you get them from a nursery they'd never consider doing that but I've never had a problem with damage and have been getting them like that for over 20 years. Eloise I have a Papillion. It's the only one I've not tossed in the compost pile but I'm still waiting for it to bloom.
