CHRISTMAS FLOWER SHOW



HAPPY NEW YEARS 2012

In full bloom on New Years Day





Paperwhites started their bloom Christmas Week



There are few things that are more interesting than watching things grow .....be they children, animals or plants. These paperwhites have grown 28 inches in 37 days. Though these bulbs require daily attention, they are well worth the effort. I have cut the spent blooms, but the plants are still lovely.

Planting the week after Thanksgiving was perfect for the paperwhites, but the week before Thanksgiving would have been better for amaryllis Christmas blooms.

In the last couple of days, a leaf has appeared at the base of the stem of the amaryllis. Who knows what surprises are in store for me in the coming weeks.
