Amaryllis in February

Hi FlN, yeah can you believe it? The rest in that bed are getting ideas now too :o) I thought the wind was going to get him the day before yesterday, but he persevered.

Thanks for the very big smile Anna, did you tell him I paint tanks too? :o)

lol no gophers, but the Ibis were here aerating this afternoon. The funny thing is that there is a dark red Amaryllis right next to this one and it is now starting to send up its stem. I think the red one was waiting to see what happened to the variegated, Is the coast clear?

Like you I just think Mother N has something up her sleeve.

Good for them, I wish this guy had waited a little longer. What can ya do, we're just passengers on this ship :o)

Thanks Kavika, I just hope this isn't an indication of what the summer will be like. I won't need my stove :o)

I hear ya 58 thanks.

This one would look good in the barrel of that red tank woudn't it :o) A decoy!!!

Thanks Grump, That thought crossed my mind too, I hope it not a sign of things to come.

Thanks Etva, no I don't imagine the daffys are happy about that at all, poor things.

Thank you Holly :o)

All in due time, I am more than happy to share with you until then Tzia. Thank you :o)

Thanks Grisham, glad you came by.

Yes I do FFR, the only thing I do to them is weed around occasionally. Here is the killer part, those bulbs were in the flower bed when I bought the house in 1980. I know!!!! If I happen to uproot one accidentally, I just stick it back in the same place or maybe over there. They have pretty much taken care of themselves, and there are more than when I bought the place. Everything should work so nice :o)

The flower in the picture was still as beautiful today as it was then and it appears to have either a 5th bloom of another set of 4 coming up from the center of the 4 existing.

Smart neighbor, that is a very good way to acquire new plants. I have a huge Stag Horn fern that I need to get hung up somewhere that was trans planted during Wilma.

In the middle of this kidney shaped flower bed that the Amaryllis are in is an Easter Lily that has been there forever and it blooms once a year as well. It dies back right to the ground and is currently back up about 6ins waiting to see what's going to happen next.

Hi Jackie, here in S FL the avg winter temps are high 60's low 70's with a weekly cold front dropping temps into the high 40's, 50's with the occasional freeze.

What's funny here is seeing the folks scramble for sweaters and jackets when the temps fall below 75. Your blood does get thinner here and we chill so very easily :o)

We are headed for 40's as 50's for this weekend as I write this. Time for the thermals lol.

That crazy plant is in the process of opening up a 5th bloom, the first 4 are getting ready for that great greenhouse in the sky, oh my. Oh and it's neighbor will have blooms shortly and the Mango is in full bloom, too early....

Hi Dare, the one thing we know about the weather is that we don't know what it will do next lol.

FlN it is good to see you and I am glad to hear that you were able to get out. Don't sweat the yard work, I had to cut the lawn today and I didn't miss not having to do that for a few weeks. I'll bet in another month your Hibiscus is covered with blooms :o)

That sounds great about the flowers and I will look forward to some pictures :o)

I did see your comment on Roy and then I went to bed early but I am very surprised to hear that it got deleted. It appears all the videos from yesterday were (4?) deleted. Hmmm?

Oh well, your welcome for the link to a Black and White Night, I really enjoy that concert and could watch it anytime lol. I too really enjoyed Roy, The Traveling Wilburys, was a great finale to a stellar career.

I am afraid so Neetu.

They are saying that we will have record temps here in S FL the next couple of days, 85°, 86°, which is way to warm to soon IMO. Round here it smells like Sun Tan Lotion lol.

Thanks for coming by. :o)

Glad you stopped by JS :o)
