Each year I try to time the Amaryllis bulbs to open as close to Christmas as possible.
This bulb just began to show it’s pretty holiday red color…maybe this is the one for this year.
I tucked the pot into a vintage grain sack sleeve.

Lovely! Grain sack is perfect. One year I had an amaryllis open on Christmas Eve! It was absolutely perfect and the star of the dinner table!
Perfect timing!
How pretty and special to grow your own beautiful Christmas table flower….the flowers that spring from the bulbs always amaze me.
Thank you for stopping by the garden…Merry Christmas!

Gee, I think that would make a very quaint watercolour. The simple container is the perfect solution for the main performance in ‘hopefully’ a couple of weeks. How do you think of these things.
Marvelous photo…
We’ll be scooping-up some leftover bulbs after Christmas and doing a ‘watch it grow’ experiment with the grandkids 🙂
Good for you : ) My amaryllis bulbs don’t yet have buds, but I am thrilled that they have sent up shoots – a promising sign.
AWESOME!!! So, when did you put it in the dark to get flowers just right for Christmas?
