The runt has turned out pretty well! Curiously, it's much paler than the others, with fewer stripes and spots. more...

Day 257

This last bud is the runt of the litter, and it's looking a bit peculiar. more...

Out with the old, in with the new. more...

Day 243

Two flowers. more...

Day 236

It's bloooooooming!!!

There was a bad moment this morning when I discovered the flower stalk had fallen over and was lying, blossom down, on the windowsill. Fortunately, there seems to have been no permanent damage, and a bamboo stake and a couple of bits of yarn (courtesy of the knitting habit!) have put everything right.

I'm thrilled with this flower - it is stunning. more...

Day 230

Getting closer... more...

Day 222

Now that the holidays are over, it's back to amaryllis updates. The individual flower buds are starting to emerge. Hopefully it will bloom soon! more...

Day 194

Time to come out of the airing cupboard, methinks! more...

Day 187

The airing cupboard seems to have done the trick! It's hard to see in this photo, but there's a leaf and, I think, another bud coming up. Woohoo!

Moby had to "help" me take the picture. more...

Day 180

Not much progress to report today. I think the windowsill might have been too cold, so I've popped it back in the airing cupboard for the time being. more...

Day 173

I'm going to start a weekly amaryllis progress report. So here's week two. It's a bit taller, I think. more...

Day 166

A bud has emerged from my amaryllis bulb! Hooray! more...
