On my recent report on the three amaryllis, you may recall there was one dud - "Red Peacock". I was ready to toss it in the garbage when I noticed that there was growth emerging. Sure enough, it continued to grow and now there is a big beautiful bloom and at least three more waiting to open. Apparently, some take more time than others. Or, perhaps it was the threat of eviction? I'm a firm believer of that. There are many plants in the garden that have improved after I threatened them with a shovel prune.

Gorgeous! I guess I should hold onto 'Estella' to see if she comes through, although threatening to toss her into the green recycle bin hasn't worked so far.
ReplyDeleteIt was worth waiting for. I agree with you about the threats. They sometimes work. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a beauty! Worth the wait?
ReplyDeleteMine will be late this year because of our cooler winter, but they seem to be starting to wake up with the increasing daylight.
