Well, so much for my self-styled title of Grand Poobah of bulb
gardening. It lasted for 2 whole hours. Then along comes Janice and
asks the GP about her Amaryllis. What I know about Amaryllis would
fit underneath my pinkie fingernail. There went my title in one fell
swoop. Thanks a lot, Janice. Why couldn't you ask me about tulips,
daffodils, hyacinth, wood hyacinths, Grecian wind flowers, squills,
snow drops, corydallis, grape hyacinth, etc.? But no..she wants to
know about Amaryllis! Talk about your bruised and battered ego.!!
However, the ex-Grand Poobah, in her munificense (sp) forgives you
because this is your first offense.
Now as to my advice. You have to be tough with these rascals or
else they get spoiled and sassy like my shasta daisies. Throw them in
the compost heap for a couple of months to toughen them up. Then
stick them in a bag in the garage for a couple of more months. By the
time you get them in the ground, they'll bloom like crazy out of sheer
gratitude.
