Christmas in May

Christmas in May! Or that’s what you can think with amaryllis bulbs blooming in our yard. Every Christmas we buy a few to help decorate. But many folks don’t realize that this tropical bulb can bloom whenever you want (provided you take the right measures for rest periods).

So we usually have a dozen or so that we store in the basement from September to March, taking them out a few at a time so we can have these impressive plants flower from late Spring through the Summer.

This one is particularly lovely with six flowers per stalk.
