The Long and Short Of It . . .

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?

    I have never seen one bloom when that short! But it sure is pretty!

    Looks like the ad for "which plant got the Miracle-Grow?".

    That is really weird. It's nice that it will bloom.

    Hmmm, it is good to bloom no matter how tall you are (or aren't)!

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

    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.

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