My wife is taking care off the plants......First Amaryllis to flower near Christmas time I guess. Iff I can come up with some decent pictures I will post them....

Rie...will buy a nice one for Christmas blooms for my dinner table. I am still choosing a theme for my Christmas this year -- your flowers and Frank's are so enticing, I am tempted to try growing them...I am really envious...;)

Izzie, Corrine and I have collected a stable of about 6 Red Lion Amaryllis over the years before Marie introduced us to the wide variety of Amaryllis that are available. We even have perhaps a couple of dozen that we have started from seed. We would be tickled to send you some for your Christmas table. ;)

Thanks for the thoughts, Frank...I will be looking for some in my sparetime...as if I ever have one often...:o but I can concentrate more after my trip. Starting from seeds I am good at and multiplying plants, too good in fact that I have to throw or give away some plants too because I have too much, so I will try seeds after I acquire my first one. The irony is watching my husband's face when I line up my little growers in the bay windows... :D I think I need to plan to build another room at the NW just for my plants...:rolleyes: I am glad you share Corrine's passion for plant growing and acquisitions.
