Now i am showing you some blooms after the first heavy rains in June. Rains were actually very late by one month, and we can always blame El Nino or climate change for these changes. Nevertheless, typhoons have to come and visit us, with rains as the positive consequence. Maybe if not for the typhoons, we will be as dry as the deserts.
One of the best consequences is stopping the dormancy of hippeastrum, and the flowers emerge way ahead of their leaves. They bloom only once a year, so blooming is always very special, expected and savored. I have always loved hippeastrum and they always give me a yearly high.

ReplyDeleteHi Eileen, I haven't for a few months. I am glad you are still with me. Thanks so much.
DeleteAmaryllis are always rewarding in blooms with little care.Happy blooms day
ReplyDeleteYes, but i grow them from seeds, some from my crosses so it took a long time before blooming.
DeleteVery beautiful blooms--you have quite a collection of Amaryllis plants!
ReplyDeleteYes Beth, i have a few of them which i mostly raise from my crosses, so it took lots of years before i see the outcome! But when they do, they are all inspiring.
DeleteThere aren't enough adjectives in the English language to describe these glorious flowers! Glad to have you back blogging!
ReplyDeleteThanks Angie, I hope my plants will not be so constricting. Figs are a demanding lot!
