New Family Members......

 

If you know me ... you know my penchant for  Amaryllis and if truth be told for Christmas Cactus too... I like to collect them.... My problem is i never seem to get to KEEP them as i move way too often.. Well last year i bought 4 to start my collection AGAIN... lol  i found Amigo, Ferrari, Arabian Nights, and Tinkerbell... Well Tinkerbell never did bloom then she withered and died... But i still have the other 3

This year i found....Star Gazer which is the tall one there in the picture, the middle size one is Glee and the small one is RedLion... it is already trying to open.. must be a shorty... Glee has the most amazing red color in the stalk and bud already , can't wait until it opens..  

The three from last year have not died back on their own like i thought they would.. but i have read up on them and saw suggested to stop watering them and put them in a dark closet on the 4th of July , then pull them out on Halloween and start to water them... so this next year i will give that a try...  

I'll show you more pics as they bloom :) ! Hugs! deb
