Amaryllis Plants 2010
This first picture was taken on February 23rd,
Some of our old Amaryllis plants died due to old age, but before doing so they
produced new bulbs. Last year we didn't have any flowers, but the new bulbs
started producing this year. We had four stalks with a total of 14 flowers. There
were two very large bright red flowers on one stalk and four pinkish-red flowers
on each of the other three stalks. Here are some pictures of this year's flowers.

This photo shows the large bright red flowers and
the second and third stalks, noted by the arrows.

One of the stalks snapped off due to the weight of the flowers.
Here you see the stalk in the blue vase on the table next
to our Christmas Poinsettia that's still blooming nicely.
As you can see, the first large red flowers have dried up.
