4 Flowers!!

 We bought this from the store that took over Home Base in Bridgend.. its huge and  perfect for walking when its wet. Known for its cheaper priced items, B&M has become quite a favourite of ours when its wet.


We bought this just before Christmas and I planted it up after Christmas on Boxing day. The huge buds opened last week and aren't they beautiful, there are 4 flowers, white with the pink lines on them.

I'm very, very pleased with our buy.. did you get an Amaryllis this year?

I didn't realise that they grow so fast. It really is a beauty.

I bought one from M and S costing £7.50 as I had my reward vouchers and it is dire!! Still only a few inches tall despite being planted mid December. I usually buy from Lidl or B and M and they have always been excellent. Lesson learned. Catriona

Wow that is a beauty!! I always treat myself to an amaryllis each year, bought a white one from Lidl and it is currently in full bloom with six flowers on one stem and another flower stem appearing, it turned out to be an unusual colour of pale green/yellow so a nice surprise.

I have an amaryllis from a couple of years ago. It has bloomed twice, but this year it just grew its leaves. Yours is beautiful.

Your amaryllis is looking lovely. I had a very small bulb this year and wasn't expecting any flowers. The bulb has proved me wrong and I have two beautiful blooms that are just starting to unfurl. I love these bulbs.

Pretty name Amaryllis. Weather update: the heatwave moved east giving Adelaide toasty 34C min. Meanwhile a chilly 19C max here.
