Amaryllis

This is what happens when you wait to buy new amayllis until they go on sale.



They bloomed in the box! The one on the right had two buds, one of which had already bloomed and shriveled up. Maybe the second bud will open.



This is how the soil comes. You add water, and voila! crumbly soil! Reminds me of something we used to play with as children that would grow into funny little shapes when you poured water on them.



Magic! Ready to use.



This one came out of the box with white leaves with green tips. No sign of a bud, but who knows.



This one shows promise. TWO buds!!

I am easily entertained these days with the promise of flowers.
