Amaryllis - - Belladonna Lily

We are in the midst of the coldest days we have had in over six years.  When I got up this morning it was minus 12 at 5:00 AM.  Any way you look at it – that is cold!!!  With that is mind I thought maybe I could warm everyone up with a few RED HOT shots today.  Hope I am a help to you on these really cold days of January.

 

Last year (2024) I decided to save the Amaryllis bulb after it had finished blooming in early Spring.  I cut back the leaves and stem, put it in a dark cool place until it was brought out this past October (2024).


This was the first year I grew the plant


 

Here are some photos of the process and this year’s blooming.

The plant is 26 inches high from the ground.
Just measured it again - it is now 29 inches to the top from the gravel and soil.
WOW


The RED is GREST!

Here are some of the seed pods and seeds from this past season.




I have so so so many!!!!
