I did have an amaryllis that grew and grew but never produced any blooms, but this year it's looking good and I'm hopeful to see a blossom after all this. I keep watching the new bulb I planted for signs of growth; I'll be shouting for joy just like you when it does. I see you've already gotten instructions from the expert--Elizabeth; maybe that's what I've done--overwatered mine!<br /><br />Beautiful photos of the snow! Strange that you had so much, and MMD had very little. But we seemed to have been in a pocket with no snow as well.Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01384059342847120951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6641149820652708910.post-7640725236010426162009-12-10T17:13:30.796-08:002009-12-10T17:13:30.796-08:00EAL--Thanks!

And yes we did get hit pretty hard with snow up here, and I am a bit relieved for the sake of the garden getting insulated!Ramble on Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18407299834073788678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6641149820652708910.post-63484611472682578112009-12-10T08:32:06.937-08:002009-12-10T08:32:06.937-08:00For those of us who are experienced at forcing bul...For those of us who are experienced at forcing bulbs, your excitement is not overdone. It is exciting to see those little green tips poking through the soil surface. I try to water the ones in the dark storage about once a week, until I'm ready to bring them inside.<br />It looks like you were in that band of heavier snow. Which is probably a good thing with the temperatures now in negativeland. Stay warm!Mr. McGregor's Daughterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05911409327006498766noreply@blogger.com
