AMARYILLIS

YOU MAY REMEMBER THE AMARYILLIS FROM LAST JANUARY. IT WAS A GIFT FROM THE HUNTERS. AFTER IT BLOOMS YOU ENJOY THE THE FLOWERS AND THEN CUT OFF THE FLOWER STALKS AND PLANT THE BULB. AFTER IT GROWS ALL SUMMER, IN THE FALL YOU CUT OFF THE LEAVES AND PUT THE BULB INTO A DARK DRY PALCE.

AT CHRISTMAS TIME YOU BRING IT OUT AND START WATERING IT AND IT GROWS A FLOWER STALK AND BLOOMS AGAIN IN THE WINTER.

WE TRIED THIS YEARS AGO AND PLANTED THE BULB OUT IN MIDDLE OF THE YELLOW RIVER FOREST. IN THE FALL WE WENT BACK AND DUG IT UP TO SAVE FOR FLOWERING AT CHRISTMAS. IT FAILED !!!

CHECK OUT THIS YEARS ATTEMPT, WE’VE NEVER SEEN ONE GET THIS BIG AND IT’S ONLY JUNE.
