...my helleborus are poking out of the snow, but no buds that I can see.
ReplyDeleteI keep my Amaryllis each year and now have 5 but no buds yet. Love the Cardinal!
ReplyDeleteYour potted amaryllis bulbs are much farther along than my waxed amaryllis. I'm not sure this new "carefree" plant is going to work for me. All those buds promise much beauty to come and cardinals are beautiful and ornamental at any time of the year.
ReplyDeleteHope you enjoy the Amaryllis flowers - they may take a while to bloom, but then you get a couple of weeks of their beauty. I actually have an orchid that's pushing up a stalk...my first time to hopefully get a second bloom from one.
ReplyDeleteWe always had Amaryllis but not this year..yet!
ReplyDeleteI skipped the amaryllis this year, they were much more expensive than in past years! Scrub jays are the brightest birds I see here, a cardinal was sited in OR once, I guess it was lost!
ReplyDeleteYour Hellebores are off to a faster start than mine, Lea! I love the shot of the beautiful cardinal, which isn't something you see in my part of the country.
ReplyDeleteI bought a cheap amaryllis on Black Friday and haven't gotten around to planting it- I really need to. I look forward to seeing your blooms (next month?) My hellebore that buds in January hasn't started yet - and I am in no hurry, as some years it is caught by very cold weather and the buds don't make it.
ReplyDeleteLove the Cardinal shot! I miss those beautiful birds. We used to see a lot of them when I lived in Ohio. My hellebores are budding, too. To my mind, you can never have enough of those!
ReplyDeleteThis technique of growing Amaryllis to get into blooms is interesting,we await for spring to get them into blooms.Happy blogger blooms day.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your Amaryllis! I think its more fun to buy the bulbs and watch them grow. The Hellebores are fun too with blooms in winter. Mine didn't bloom until late February-early March last year. Hopefully they will come sooner this year. Happy Bloom Day!
ReplyDeleteI am often surprised at how early 'spring' growth starts in some plants.

My Helleborus are blooming big time. I do like Amaryllis---have them every year. Yours look great
