  1. I've always enjoyed the sound of that flower name, although I'm still not sure I can pronounce it right myself.

  3. Charles Gramlich,
    I am not quite sure if my spelling is right. ;-)

    Barbara Martin,
    I plant several bulbs every winter, carefully selecting the color, whites only. Well, this one not only blooms way ahead of the others, it also turned out to be red. *smile*

  8. I wasn't able to force my Amaryllis this year in time for Christmas - a tradition for me. They're so beautiful. Will get some bulbs as soon as I can and at least have them for January. In the meantime I'll enjoy these from your magnificent city.

  9. Such a gorgeous red!
    My amaryllis from last Christmas is residing under my kitchen sink in the dark... I shall get it out at Christmas and give it some water, and see if it will bloom again... I hope so!

  14. A Thousand Clapping Hands,
    I never managed to get a repeat performance out of my Amaryllis,
    and lately I simply give them away when they stop blooming.

    I have planted them later in December, to have them blooming after I take the Christmas tree down. This year, I simply did not want to wait. ;-)

  16. However, let not the Amaryllis detract from the great pictures of the alto-cumulus at the top!
