#amaryllisbloom

A little Christmas magic for the gardener! My first amaryllis, the variety is called ‘Apple Blossom’, opened fully today. Everyone who has ever grown amaryllises knows how hard it is to time the opening of the flowers. So I will just consider this a good omen. I hope your Christmas celebrations are lovely and you are having a beautiful day! Here the weather is absolutely wonderful and we sat long in the garden and simply enjoyed the sun. We will be going for a dog walk later and look at the beautiful Christmas lights in our neighbor at dawn. Then its time for a special Christmas dinner and after that to retreat under the Christmas tree and enjoy the Christmas presents. I am wishing you lots of love and peace on this special day. Merry Christmas to you all! #organicgardendreams #amaryllis #amaryllises #amaryllisflower #amaryllisbulb #amaryllisbloom #amaryllisappleblossom #christmasamaryllis #christmas #christmas2021 #amaryllislover #amaryllissesofinstagram #austingardener #forcingamaryllisbulbs #forcingamaryllis #amaryllismagic #centraltexasgardener #centraltexasgardening #gardening #flowerphotography #flower #bloom #flowers #blooms #whiteamaryllis #whiteandpink #whiteandpinkamaryllis (at Austin, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/CX69pEWv9yF/?utm_medium=tumblr

The beauty of my amaryllises in full flower is blowing me away at the moment! How could I ever live without them? One thing is for sure this won’t be the last time that I have forced them. I am dreaming already ahead which varieties I will grow next year. Are you growing amaryllises this year? And if so, how are yours doing? Do you have any favorite varieties? We were supposed to have our second light frost here in Austin last night. Did you have frost already in your area this year? I know many of you are going through a pretty cold, snowy, and harsh winter. I still remember how tough this can be from last year in February when we had the arctic blast here in Texas. Especially those who have to endure challenging winter conditions I wish that you stay save and warm! #organicgardendreams #amaryllis #amaryllisflower #amaryllises #amaryllisbloom #amaryllisblooms #amaryllisflowers #flowerphotography #forcingbulbs #forcingamaryllis #forcingamaryllisbulbs #stilllife #stillifephoto #stillifegallery #flowers #blooms #indoorgardening #9vaga_stillife9 #still_life_photography #still_life_gallery #still_life_mood #winterblooms #austingardener #stillife_perfection #countrystilllife #country_stillife #mycountryhome #cottagecore #cottagestyle #countryliving (at Austin, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/organicgardendreams/p/CYbkZg7rb4P/?utm_medium=tumblr

This amaryllis sprang from one of those wax-covered balls. I got it at Trader Joe’s. Unfortunately, someone knocked off one of the flower buds just before it bloomed. The second image best represents the actual beautiful deep red color. #amaryllis #amaryllisblooms #amaryllisbloom #traderjoesfinds #traderjoes #tjs #amazingflowers #redflowers (at Berkeley, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CYEq37hFjNK/?utm_medium=tumblr

Day 11. Well I was mistaken. Yesterday was not the final posting. Only three blooms showed. Today I noticed a fourth bloom in the back. So here you go! #amarylliswatch2020 #amarylliswatch #amaryllisbloom #amaryllis #infullbloom #beautifulflowers #christmasflowers (at Berkeley, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CJB1OGhJtt3/?igshid=1smjqw0tono6b
