Sale Amaryllis Houston area

13 years ago

Houston Garden Center has their hippis for 80% off. They have the usual 4 boxed ones, Red Lion, Apple blossom, Minerva & a white I forget the name of now $2.60.

Planted white, red, striped were $12.99 now $2.60. (I bought 3 that had buds)

Hadeco, were $24.99 now $5.00 Alfresco, Wedding Dance, Ragtime, Merry Christmas(I think), Candy Floss, white & red striped, seems like there were 1 or 2 more. Planted in 1 gallon pots. (12 most with new buds)

GIANT bulbs of Minerva, Red Lion & Apple Blossom, were $19.99 now $4.00. Most of these had lost their tags & only a couple were blooming, the rest have yet to bloom.

(10 all with multiple buds)

My little car was stuffed with bulbs and pots of amaryllis so I just bought fewer groceries. :)

Happy New Year!

Craftymama (I love that name...): Emerson lives in La Porte--just southeast of Houston. To contact him go to his website: http://www.emersonsplumerias.com There is a 'contact us' tab on the left. I'll let him give you his phone number. It is so worth going to their house! Now I know they travel a couple times a year, so I would contact them well in advance if you are making a special trip. While visiting their home, I felt like I was a kid in a candy store!! Little starters to huge trees 2-3 times my height!!! And as the breeze would blow, scents of various plumeria blooms filled the air---like heaven. :) He has something for everyone--a lot of good standard plumeria & so many what I would call, highly sought after plumeria. A distinct advantage in buying from his home or at a show is I was able to get some beautifully multi-branched plants that would have been impossible to ship. It was just SO HARD to pick just a few...but I am very happy!! Craftymama: WOW- 67 plants! I'd say you are hooked by plumeria! I can see how that could 'easily' happen! I really had to 'hold back' at Emerson's place--I figured I can always go back 'to visit'!! I think I'm going to have to now work these plants into any future 'home budget talks' with my husband!!! Ha Ha...

Houston Area - Anthony & Sylvan Pool - Any Good Experiences?
Q

dont believe all of the negative things you read about anthony sylvan pools because they just aint true. they just finished my pool/spa in spring. the pool is nearly perfect. we had bids from several builders including cody pools, houston pool builders, platinum pools and precision pools. cody and platinum were by far the worst. they didnt seem to care if they sold you a pool or not and just offerd to build a basic pool. our salesman phil at a and s was outstanding and had the best pool design. the quality of work from the contractors was outstanding and right on schedule. they told us we could go pick out our own pallet of coping which we did but the coping crew didnt know about it and brought out the wrong pallet. they had even started to cut some of the pieces. within minutes of finding out the crew returned with the pallet we picked out no questions asked. now that is good customer service! period. also our cool deck color wasnt applied quite evenly and didnt look right. the construction supervisor noticed it and he said we will fix that right away. they addressed everything quickly. i was concerned at first about the stories i read on the internet about a and s but now i know for a fact that you cant believe everything you read. actually there are complaints about just about every pool builder out there not just a and s. i dont think people really realize just how involved building an inground pool really is. there is bound to be a couple of things happen along the way. this has been a very positive experience and i would recommend anthony sylvan pools to anyone.

I had to go to the pet store so picked up 6 more of the giant bulbs, 2 boxed White Christmas, one Ragtime and 4 of the smaller potted amaryllis. I want to fill a big pot on the back deck with ragtime and one bed in the front with the giant bulbs. It was just too good of a deal. It doesn't look like they sold many. I opened a couple of the boxes and all the bulbs were decent size, healthy and none had bloomed yet. Sale through the 9th.

Tally, all we have here in San Antonio, is Lowes, you are so lucky. I will be going to Galveston the end of February. My husband goes every year for IFSAC meetings. Since I am retired, this will be my first time going to Galveston. Would you be able to recommend any good nurseries, or gardens that I can go to. We will be there from Feb 26, thru March 3rd. Barbra

Dang, we have no amaryllis avaiable on the island. I wish there a venue where I could sell them ready to bloom in the winter, LOL. My roadside stand would not do at the 22-33 degree temperatures F it has been outside all this past week! Our grocery did have some in pots but they are all one variety, a dark red. I am just going to have to order some at full price.

I solved the freezing greenhouse problem by realizing that I could use the propane heater in addition to the electric when the temp is this low. It has taken most of a 5 gallon canister of propane for the past 5 nights, but kept the temp up from 46-72 at night with the thermostat for the electric set at 80 and the propane on low. Not too efficient but the temp is set to rise over nighttime freezing in a day or two. IN the meantime, my budded amaryllis have LOVED the heat!

Barb, drop me a line and we'll tour the island. No nurseries on the island but one, it's OK, good selection usually but very high prices.
On the mainland tons of places and they should start getting in plants soon. Maas, Josephs, Sunland, Somewhere in Time....

Tally, I'll bring you some of the plants from my yard when I come down. By then plants should be coming back from the roots. Do you have a Moy Grande, or Lord Baltimore? Barbra
