Morning everyone. This is Amaryllis No 1 - planted 15/12/18 and fully in flower this week. Never grown one before and it's been fascinating to watch it. Enjoy your day and stay safe in the storm.

That’s a pretty one Sue 🌸 I tried one last year and only got leaves!

Surprised myself to be honest, I just stuck it on a sunny window sill, watered every few days and turned it when the stem looked wonky! @rachelbrooks

rachelbrooks
Job well done then! 👍🏼

So do I 💕💕

Glorious!
So this was Amaryllis No 2 - two stems, so many flowers and maybe looking slightly top heavy 🤔. And if a plant looks slightly top heavy, it probably is and you ought to do something about it before it falls off the window sill snapping the blooms and stem off! ☹☹☹ #liveandlearn
Gorgeous 🤗
Wow 💚
Oh no Sue! 🙈 it’s stunning as well! Did you pop it in a vase?
It's stunning 💕
Thanks ladies. It certainly was lovely until it toppled over! The soil went all over the cream carpet as well! Most of the blooms got damaged when it fell but I rescued a few and have them floating in a bowl but don't think they'll last long. @godfreye @anges @rachelbrooks @carolgs
I don’t think they do on the stem anyway Sue, so at least you still get to enjoy them! 😊
Oh dear... but lovely #collage to remember them by.
Oh no!!! Well at least you've still got the photos 😱😱
