Orchid and Amaryllis


Both my orchid and amaryllis are in full bloom now which adds warmth and brightness indoors compared to looking at the cold white 'stuff' outside....

Re: Orchid and Amaryllis


Thanks for posting those, they do indeed brighten up a Winter day! Is that last years amaryllis or a new one?

I have buds on 5 of mine that Summered outdoors and one on this years I got at Christmas; can't wait to see the flowers.

That's a new amaryllis called Flamingo, Eileen ........ last year's bulbs produced lots of leaf growth but unfortunately no buds

Looking forward to seeing yours in flower soon

Wow - such lovely colours on the orchid.
Only one of my amarylis from last year has survived. It has put out a couple of leaves so I await results!!

Re: Orchid and Amaryllis


Usually they put up the bud first then the leaves.... I hope it was Picotee that survived?

So do I - I forgot to label them when I put them out- I had put them all into flowerpots with drainage so they all looked the same.

No bud, but two healthy leaves. If I don't get a flower this year is it woth keeping until next?
