..........this lovely Amaryllis was an Xmas present from a lovely friend. It grew so quickly and is now (almost) in full bloom, with another bud creeping on.........it is so tall and such a fab colour too. Way back (in the late 60's) my Dad was a coach driver and took a tour to Holland which included Keukenhof Gardens and he came home with this enormous weird bulb......no box, no instructions. We dug some earth up from garden, potted it up and just left it in the shed. We were shocked when we looked at it again couple weeks later...it had grown big already.......we brought it indoors and could (almost) watch it growing !!!
Super one. I had one exactly like this last year and it fell over on day 2 of blooming and wrecked. Very tall and heavy! This year I have two different ones on the go. I do love an amaryllis
@sangwann Thank you. I was a teenager in the 60's and was lucky enough to frequently travel with my Dad to 'the continent'.......he loved his job travelling around everywhere. He had Gypsy parentage who were settled and living in a house...but the 'wandering' never ceased.
