amaryllis, bulb, Hippeastrum, in a vase on Monday, January, white

Last Monday I shared my Amaryllis bulb with you. At that point it was in bud, full of promise.

Now look at it!

A cheeky vase to share with Cathy and you on this Monday. Do take a look at her blog to see some lovely vases full, just what you need on a Monday.

Have a good week. D.

Saturday smile: blooming

I spent £2.50 on a pleasingly fat, brown, papery bulb before Christmas. I knocked the compost off and sat it on top of a Vase of water allowing the roots to reach the water.

The shoots grew and grew until a flower bud formed and today they opened.

I love the waxy white clean flower heads. Each of the two stems has three trumpet like flowers. Stonking value for money I reckon.

Enjoy your evening. D.

bulb, in a vase on Monday, unknown variety

This is not a vase.
This is a pot

I was given a large bulb in the Spring by my lovely Mum but I cannot remember what it is.

Let me know if you know, here is a close up.

So not a vase but an extraordinary specimen in a pot.
