After the red amaryllis finished blooming by my front door last month, I moved the pots back to the balcony. The white one is going dormant, but I was surprised when the red one grew another bud or two on the balcony.
Last weekend a red flower opened.
The next day another flower opened.
I've been enjoying the flowers all week and they're still blooming. More buds have appeared. I guess the plant didn't need to be in full sun to bloom. This is like a new season of flowers from the same plant.
We're still in a drought in Florida despite several light rains. You'll notice lots of blue skies from the balcony.
Happy June to everyone wherever you are!

I love that your amaryllis is year round. And lovely, too!
ReplyDeleteI wish it was year round, but it's not. Amaryllis blooms in the spring in growing zones 8 through 11. That means in the US areas like southern California and Florida. The red ones at Christmas are forced bulbs. The bulbs bloom and the number of flowers depends on the size of the bulb. Previously, bulbs make buds and have a number of flowers. Then the buds stop and that's it until next year. I love that I got a 2nd season with this plant!
