The Long and Short Of It . . .

Thursday, December 6, 2018
Remember the story behind the amaryllis bulbs that I purchased in November? It appears the bulbs continue to surprise. The bulbs were purchased and planted at the same time, yet one is clearly 20+ inches tall and the other barely 10 inches.

The boxes stated the bulbs were guaranteed to bloom, and it appears that will clearly happen. However, until this year, I have never seen an amaryllis bloom without a tall stalk. Have you?

  5. PS-what I find most interesting is the lack of leaves on either of them!

  7. A family friend living in Hawaii sent my MIL an amaryllis every year for many years and I never saw one bloom without a tall stalk. They'll both be beautiful I'm sure.

  8. No that’s just plain odd. I’m glad it’s blooming anyway. Blessings, Betsy
