I put paperwhites in tall glass vases from last year's Amaryllis kits and put amaryllis in pots of soil because I thought the water/stones route served them poorly last year. Chilled Hyacinth bulbs will come out of the fridge in two weeks. Potted tulips will emerge the same time. Some of these may not bloom for Christmas but will bring great January cheer. It isn't too late for your readers to pick up Amaryllis bulbs -- even if they don't bloom for Christmas.Jean Campbellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09000315400392984647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2243579953985871041.post-91800500840289522722011-11-25T18:23:13.353-06:002011-11-25T18:23:13.353-06:00Hi Eileen,

I just thought that they were more roots. Tell me how I can tell the difference please.I haven't repotted mine yet...they are in small pots that they came in. I didn't repot them after hearing that you don't have to repot right away...they love being cramped. I really think that mine need to be repotted.<br />BalishaBalishahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17298193443371503407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2243579953985871041.post-28435494530432612532011-11-24T08:46:28.754-06:002011-11-24T08:46:28.754-06:00I just bought in my Red Lion Amarylis that I had f...I just bought in my Red Lion Amarylis that I had from last year. It stayed outside all summer and I'm wondering if you think it will rebloom. I've got it sitting in front of living room window on a table, where it will get the afternoon sun though the sheers on the window. <br /><br />Never saved one over from the previous year..will see if it will work but will go and get some fresh bulbs. They make the house smell so good when they bloom. Do you ever do hyacinths the same way?<br /><br />Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!Betty819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2243579953985871041.post-77603785362671917582011-11-24T06:33:46.232-06:002011-11-24T06:33:46.232-06:00Hi Eileen, Last year, as I am sure you may recall,...Hi Eileen, Last year, as I am sure you may recall, I couldn't find any paperwhites in the stores, so this year I bought bulbs. Your post has reminded me that I still haven't potted them up. I must get to it today. I really like the red urns that you have your amaryllis potted up in. I look forward to seeing the flowers. Have a great Thanksgiving!Jennifer@threedogsinagardenhttp://threedogsinagarden.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2243579953985871041.post-80297344762041590202011-11-23T12:14:09.366-06:002011-11-23T12:14:09.366-06:00Lovely collection of blooms as always!

That might also work to hold amarylis without the unsightly staking.<br /><br />Now I wish I had bought paperwhites. I did not see any this year, but then I rarely go to the stores. Maybe I will hit a few this week to see if they have any left. <br /><br />At least I will have yours to enjoy.Diana LaMarrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11324428666401187803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2243579953985871041.post-21884865539895351352011-11-20T22:06:41.851-06:002011-11-20T22:06:41.851-06:00Beautiful ideas I'm stealing from you.
