Amaryllis Sweet Lilian


It's been really dark here the past two days but one of my amaryllis bulbs is busting a move so I did the best I could with some photos this morning.


Amaryllis Sweet Lilian

Meet Sweet Lilian.

It looks like there's two more flowers on this stalk left to open and there's another stem in the works.

In the background is Amaryllis La Paz which should open this weekend so I'll try to take better photos of  both of them this weekend.

Does everyone have a long weekend?

    Steve, you must work for the government, right? I don't know of anyone else has MLK day off :) I wish I did though. Anyway, Miss Lilian's got some kinda sassy style. And I'm thinking she knows it!

    Aww, love your Amaryllis, I'm patiently waiting for mine to do something! Love the name too, I had an Aunt Lillian who lived in Melrose, and when I was a young girl I used to call her "Aunt Melrose" LOL!!!

    I'm so looking forward to the long weekend and a trip to Maine!

    Hope you have a lovely weekend!

    Long weekend? Nope, not here.
    One of my nieces is named Lillian so I love that name.
    Lovely flower.
    I've never tried an Amaryllis.
    I do have Mexican Heather and Geraniums sitting in my window that I brought in from outside last Fall and they seem to be doing well...but apparently they make cats vomit if they are eaten.
    Enjoy your weekend while I am working.

    Busting a move, LOL. Such talented flowers you have!

    Yes, yes! A long weekend, very exciting. I don't have many plans except to watch the Patriots on Saturday night and dinner with friends on Sunday.

    I am drawn to variegated flowers, especially white with another color. Your Lillian is lovely.

    Lovely - I like the name and the delicate variegation also. This reminds me of the lilies I had that Biscuit ate. He had yellow powder all over his nose and then threw up in the house. Keep the cats away - I think these are poisonous also to kitties.

    Long weekend - I wish. Enjoy - you deserve one considering you worked all over Christmas!

    Ah, we get her sisters to design with, I never knew their name.

    No, regular weekend for me, Sunday and Monday. I would murder for Saturday.

    Still desperately seeking sleep.

    I was given an amaryllis (don't remember the name but it is solid red) at Christmas one year and it bloomed beautifully. I then planted it outside and it blooms about this time every year. I live in zone 8 (I think).

    Anyway would love to have a long weekend but none for me - the holidays are over here until April!

    Regards,

    For my own sanity, flowers in January are a must. The local supermarket had Hyacinths for 3.99 this week. Love their perfume...

    Yea for the long weekend!
    Spinal Tap at the Tower Theatre Saturday, and snowboarding Sunday! Hubby's been gone all week at CISCO training, so it will be a fun weekend for sure ;)

    I was just beginning to wonder if my red amaryllis is all stalk and no action. I also have a long weekend and am simply delighted to no end.

    the great thing about having a job share is that every week is a long weekend for me, enjoy yours!. I am looking forward to progress reports on your makeovers.
