Greetings from the other side of the Pond, Gary, glad to see a new amaryllis/hippeastrum video......glad to see you haven't recovered from your habit. While it's great to see amaryllis blooming, I do feel sorry for the poor bulbs, with that wire thing poked into the base and starved of water. I know that they don't need any more nutrients to bloom, but goodness, it can't be good for the bulb to have hot wax pour all over it - think of sado-masochistic rituals or the waxing scene in "The 40 Year Old Virgin".....oh well
Yes, the imagery can be vivid. Thanks for the laugh. And sadly, I haven't had any success in staying away from new varietys. Catalogs can be very dangerous.
Thank you for your information on Amaryllis 😊
You're welcome. Glad you found it helpful.
