Amaryllis

First of the season!

This was one those years where I neglected the houseplants a lot putting them out on the deck in the spring.  I took all the amaryllis to the basement once it started getting too cold, and finally repotted some a few weeks ago, giving them a good soaking of liquid fish, kelp, humus and Effective Microbes.  Now I'm getting stalks shooting up and even a bloom!

This is the kind of color I appreciate once it's darker, gloomy and muddy outside.  I'd be happier with a nice coating of white on everything, but instead it's just gross out there. At least there's color inside!
