So, with global warming you can grow these outside? They're beautiful.

Again, I would love to grow some of the things you do outdoors, John

Amaryllis is hardy to zone 8 where John is, and this has been an especially mild winter for most of us.

Thanks for sharing that beautiful flower

Unfortunately, I have misled you. This was actually grown inside, but taken outside and put on the deck rail so I coulld make a better photo.

I apologize for misleading you.................................Coot

Beautiful. They are my favorite flower to pick me up this time of year. You have a beautiful double one do not see those often,

[oldcoot]

It is still putting out buds, and blooms. I guess the vendor sold me a good one.

Beautiful amaryllis. Did anyone know they last longer if picked when just opening and put in a vase? I have several growing in my greenhouse so picked one, tipped it upside down, filled the stalk with water and placed it in a vase. Lasted a whole week on my kitchen table. Since then, I pick one bloom off each plant to enjoy in the house. growlove
