I am over the moon about my amaryllis blooming at this time of the year! They are gorgeous, no matter what the color, and in the bleak winter days, a breath of fresh air, for me.
I love love looking at my Amarillo.
No matter what.color.
I don’t care what time of the year it is, I’m always thrilled to see amaryllis bloom! I plant mine outdoors after they bloom and they bloom for me in May year after year. I added five more this year. I would love a red for Valentine’s Day tho!
I don’t do any of this, but I do admire yours.
I need to go to Trader Joe's! Linda, you're the only lady I know who can make a men's shirt and joggers look so classy and put together. One of your many super powers. 👍😍
LOL! Thanks girlfriend… I’ll pay you later lol!
Love the arrangement!! Would you ever consider a video showing us step by step how you put an arrangement together- I think we could learn a lot!! I keep trying but am never very happy with the results!!
I’m in Terrytown,LA (zone 9B) My Amaryllis are in the garden year after year. They will start budding up the end of February, the beginning of March. I have flowers March & April. Thank you Linda for bringing us your knowledge and beauty.
I love the white after the holidays
We would love to see a snow video of your garden!!!!
I have about 40 in my front yard. I live in zone 7b and they come up more beautiful every year.
I love the egg trellis. I just ordered 3. Thanks for the heads-up!
I have seeds for Amaryllis because I do the bee work! Mom taught me when I was a kid. One pot is dedicated in the garage for that nursery!
I agree and have had the same results with my bulbs reflowering (well or not). A few of mine are not flowering at all and some are just NOW putting out a bloom shoot. P.S. I just ordered your earrings! Adorbs!
Oooh. Talk to me about your crackle wall treatment behind your floral arrangement!!
In the video tomorrow!
Wow ❤️❤️ post hve a happy weekend!!!
Absolutely beautiful arrangement! Thank you for the aftercare info!
The red bouquet is beautiful!
I’m in Zone 9B and tried to over winter my beautiful white amaryllises from LY, but alas missed the mark as they are just now sending up spikes. Better late than never! Haha! Thanks for the gardening tips as always, and love your ensemble of the day! So pretty!
I’ve never been a fan of amaryllis but they are ‘growing’ on me. My cousin grows in the ground here in zone 9b. Never thought of them as Christmas flower. Love a white crisp shirt with anything! Thanks for the tip to shop men’s small. I do that with white tshirts that I sleep in but never made the leap to your suggestion. Snow is beautiful--it’s 83 degrees here in zone 9b on February 4! 😳
Beautiful arrangement! I absolutely loved your outfit today! My favorite is jeans & a white shirt, so classy dressed up with accessories!
Okay. Please do videos throughout the year about Amaryllis! ☺️. I’m going to try this too.
As soon as your intro music starts my feet start dancing as I’m sitting in my recliner!😁. Oh wow your red tone on tone arrangement was so beautiful, you’re so right that would have have been very expensive to buy ready made. Pure inspiration! I LOVE your necklace! By the way you and Garden Answer are my Go To places for, well, pretty much anything I’m interested in. I’m soooo glad I found you!🇨🇦
Thank you dear!
Pressed flower would look cute on those wood earrings! Love them!
Yes!
That was very interesting I have several Amarillo in my front and backyard in SoCal zone 10b I don’t doing anything with them but shed some of the leaves that get to big & bushy. I love your shirt and necklaces/earrings. ❤️
Yopiu
That first arrangement is STUNNING! Yes, i have Amaryllis that have bloomed and are about to, i stagger the growing of them, i enjoy the flowers throughout the winter season, not just at Christmas. All of my bulbs the last few years, i have regrown, successfully having them bloom.
Well done!
@@LindaVater Of course there are less than a dozen, but i kinda like the pricey ones, so i think forcing them justifies the cost. :)
I recently purchased the set of the wood earrings (set contains 8 pairs) and I absolutely love them. They are light weight, the colors and the wood tone are beautiful. The red hoops are my favorite 😉. I admire your style. Thanks for the recommendation.
You bet!
The arrangement in the stone pot is stunning - loving the various flowers/leaves...... and your necklace ensemble coordinates beautifully with it!
I love Amaryllis. I am in zone 8b and can leave my bulbs planted all year. I did order several wax ones this year after Christmas and they are still in bloom or about to bloom. I have a couple of the Red Lions and an Apple Blossom and a white one. Thanks for showing us after care with your Amaryllis.
I love amaryllis flowers !!! Just not red ones. I don’t know why , but l have never liked red flowers. When my husband and l started dating back in 1980 something.. he liked to bring flowers 💐 over. I had to be very diplomatic and let him know that l love any color rose but red . We have a Fresh Market close to us, and they have a very nice flower section . He always brings flowers home when he goes food shopping .
LOVE your outfit an all the earrings. Great buy and look so nice. thanks for a good video. love,hugs,prayers.
I have a similar schedule for mine, I am in 9a so most of mine have ended up outside but I have special ones I bring in. I love the idea of bunching them all together to save on watering time and effort ✨🙌
I have an amaryllis still in bloom and a small one just starting to get stalks
Beautiful flower arrangement, love the orange and red tons. My Amaryllis are done and I’m grateful for your tips on how to take care of them for potential new blooms next season🌸👍🏾💚
Oh my gosh, I am blown away with the beauty of your flower arrangement. Just love the different shades of reds and maroons. The Nandina is gorgeous, and the combinations of the Amaryllis and the Rose's,,,,, I have one word wow WOW, WOW. .. the beautiful pot or vase in that stone sets it off . This is so beautiful Linda . Love your video.
Its inspiration for me to do a red themed arrangement.
Thanks so much.
Just had to add this.
I was going through a very tiring time, feeling weak and very depressed.
When I saw this red arrangement.. it lifted my spirits so much, I really started feeling so much better. .....
It really made me so much better, health wise and spiritually.
Thank you.
And I hope that positivity continues today my dear🙏❣️
Thank you.
I have a double bloom burgundy amaryllis that is going to open very soon and also in bloom is apple blossom. I also have several that are past bloom and letting them just grow as you say. I do plant mine outside in huge pot for summer. But i am so looking forward to Spring so I have a beautiful pot of blue hyacinths. And I've had several hyacinths in the bud vases that I love the smell, lots of ice and snow in NE Ohio. Stay safe and warm.
Your arrangement was beautiful, I do pretty much the same with aftercare as I don’t have a greenhouse. I will cut the flowers and put them in a vase grouped together. Then while it’s still too cold out ( before I can put them out for summer) I buy some pretty blooms that I know will hold up like alstroemerias ( from Trader Joe’s) I put them in water tubes insert them throughout the amaryllis foliage add preserved moss to cover the soil and tubes or any other mechanics . This is called Pot et Fleur . You can change up the florals when they are passed their prime. I hope this “ tickles you pink “ 😉🌸
Smart and clever!!
Love this idea! Thank you
@@LindaVater Thank you! Love your channel
My mom got me started on amaryllis many years ago. She bought one each Christmas, and it was always the Red Lion. Now I buy one each Christmas, but this year I also purchased two that were on sale after Christmas. So, I've got two that are still coming on. I grew a white one this year, and I love it. Hope I can oversummer them with your advice and get them to bloom again. Thank you.
Hurrah!
My amaryllis are just starting to bloom😊 and I love it. After the Xmas holidays in deep winter in my 5b zone blooming amaryllis are a great joy to have as anticipation for the upcoming gardening season 🌸🌸🌸
Yes!! I am planning on planting more white in the future!!
I had decided to give the Amaryllis experiment a pass this season. I'm trying other new inspirations and didn't want to overwhelm myself. But I am looking forward to jumping in later this year during the holidays.
Yes I have so many Linda. The ones from last year did not bloom for Christmas but they are blooming now. They bring me such joy.
I had “bare naked ladies” ie amaryllis that bloomed in my former home in Ca in spring. They came back without any effort on my part, along with the Easter lilies each spring. Stunning! Now here in north Tx, I would LOVE to find some for spring and Valentine’s Day somehow….sadly, I anticipate little success here in Tx with the brutal winter….maybe inside my house…💔
Yes Texas received all the ice and sleet not much snow. Yeah I purchased 4 Black Egg Trellis. Due 2/11. I so hope it is delivered before Valentine's Day. Nice outfit. Cool earring package.
I’m so sorry you got the ice and sleet!
Thanks for the amaryllis tips the timeing is spot on for me. Love that arrangement, very Valentines inspired, but you always get those stunning arrangements right and inspire me withthe containers you use. Agree abour the men's white shirt, and the collars are the only type you can get to stand up.Pretty snowy scene outside, it's just wind and rain atm here in Ireland. I love when you do walkabouts in your house Linda, I feel I'm a houseguest and I'm taking in all the beautiful woodwork and stunning glass in yur windows, it's just so inviting. Have a great weekend.
You too!
I have one starting to bloom right now. My grandcat who we babysat this week was quite taken with it. He was quite drawn to it time and time again. I hurss he appreciates gatden beauty, too.
My sister-in-law gave me an amaryllis for Christmas and it's blooming now. Beautiful! I have never had one so knew nothing about their upkeep. This video was so valuable to me. I plan to watch it again and take notes. I love the idea of taking them outdoors in the summer. I too think the leaves are great looking. Thanks so much, Linda!
I purchased a Minerva amaryllis November 2020 and it only grew foliage, and a baby bulb grew from the side of the original bulb. It didn’t bloom either, but I kept them like a well cared for houseplant until I put them into dormancy September 1, 2021. Brought them out two months later, cut all the dead foliage off, watered and fed them, and not a darn thing happened 😆. So last week in the trash 🗑 they went. Going to try again this year with a Ferrari amaryllis I got for $3 on clearance that actually did bloom.
Your flower arrangement is spectacular ‼️
I bought two white nymph bulbs this year. They’re stunning! Still blooming and more about to bloom. I’m so happy with them!
Wonderful video , and the arrangement is gorgeous. I love the warm tones in the winter, but I am looking forward to early Spring
I still have pink and white amaryllis coming into bloom. I love it because my forced lips need a few more weeks before blooming.
This Sunday I will give my mother 3 amaryllises ...plants not cutflowers for her birthday.
I planted them and put them colder on purpose ...to have the best quality for 6th February.
And some tiny snowdrops ( galanthus nivalis).
I hope she will like it ...
As she has problems with fragrances ...hyacinths, lilys, paperwhites ...even tulips all not for her.
Kind regards,
Marcus
Thank you Linda, I have 4 Amaryllises this year, 2 have finished blooming and I cut the stalk down, one still has a flower and the other is 33 inches and a big Bud on it! I will follow what you shared! The fresh arrangement you had made was beautiful and I noticed how well it went with your necklace also!!!! Thank you again for sharing!!!!
Well I put mine out in a big pot last summer on a porch & they were glorious- brought them in my garage which has hvac in late November & just now have 2” of growth. Glad you mentioned fertilizer- because I didn’t even think of that ! But they look extremely healthy!
I had three bulbs this year. The two red lion each sent up two flowering stalks. They are now leaves/foliage. My third bulb is a Double Galaxy - Nymph. Beautiful double flower in white with pink. It is almost ready to bloom on its second stalk.
Grew Amaryllis (Red Lion and Minerva) for the first time christmas 2020. Potted up over the summer outside, put in basement for 2 months, planted up for Christmas 2021 and Red Lion rebloomed. Have beautiful foilige on Minerva only, but not discouraged. I will try again this season.
Got an Amaryllis (Apple Blossom) and potted up on News Years Day. The most glorius Spring Colored bloom right now.
I love Amarillo, I didn't know you can keep them alive! Thank you, Linda!
What a beautiful arrangement , happy Valentines day Linda ❤
Thank you for the tips! Neither of my amaryllis are particularly precious, but I wanted to see if I can keep one going over the warm months. I now have it's floppy leaves loosely bound with a pretty gold ribbon and sitting in a sunny window.
I garden in Austin Texas zoone 8b. After amaryllis blooms are gone, we plant them in the garden. They bloom in the spring every year.
Nice to know they will rebloom in Austin. I'll try it next year.
I agree with absolutely everything you said. I am so much like you. I love everything about all the varieties offered by Color Blends.
The Double Dream I received as a Christmas present actually had 3 waves of blossoms, the third is only just now wilting.
Your amaryllis look like what we call hippeastrum which bloom in early summer here where I am in Queensland. I have mine out on the garden, some in the ground some in pots. The snails unfortunately love the flowers and a couple of years ago ate them all before they opened properly.
Oh no!
DÉBUT DE PRINTEMPS 👍🥀☀️
Yes ! Linda your arrangement was gorgeous !!!
Yes ... my amaryllis are still blooming but it's my fault for the most part ... I ordered and planted them late. I do have one from last year that has just now put on a bloom - yee haw !!!! I will be planting this year's bulbs out in my garden (Atlanta, GA zone 7b) in a bright sunny spot come Springtime (they will be well mulched/protected from winter weather - which is always a guessing game here!!)
Gorgeous! I love all of your ideas Linda!
Thanks Heather!
Enjoyed your video today 😀
Beautiful, plus I love your jewelry
In South Carolina we plant our spent bulbs in the ground as they will bloom every year in spring and the bulbs multiply.
How wonderful!
Some of my amaryllis are beginning to bloom white,I do same as you but them outside but I don’t put them in one big pot,I have one of my mothers old amaryllis it didn’t bloom at Christmas it sorta had its own schedule and it was orange…beautiful🌼🌸🌺
I ordered your book last month. I’m looking forward to getting it.
I live in Florida an Amaryllis lilies don't bloom so early in the year. We just plant them in the yard an they bloom once a year.
That's exactly how I do it too! 🌷
I tried your idea of planting amaryllis from last year in a large terracotta pot and enjoyed them as a summer container plant. For the holidays this year, I purchased a few new ones but also potted up the older bulbs from the large container. They are blooming now and I think it's really fun!! I'll post a photo on the FB group.
I need to be taking my tips from you!
Linda, would you share the artist and origin of your picture over your fireplace please? The arrangements on your table are beautiful and I love the egg trellis! I bought 6 of them....YES, six....have a mission to use them at Easter! Can't wait! Oh....and how lovely you look too, Linda! Thanks! ❤
I love that picture too!
It is a Shapiro and belonged to my husband before we were married. It even went through a fire in the 1980s and had to be restored! We do love it so!
@@LindaVater It's very special indeed! Thank you Linda! ❤
O.k. I am going to save the bulbs that didn’t bloom ,I would love them blooming in the summer🌹
I purchase my amaryllis every year as well. I have tried to regrow the bulbs but no 😕 it’s okay I don’t mind. I give my old bulbs way to my friends and family.
Do you love your parque flooring. Yours is gorgeous. My house was built in the 1950's and wanting large planks. What are your throughts?
It’s hard to go wrong with hardwood floors in my opinion :-)
I actually like amaryllis more in the periode after Christmas. In January and the beginning of February i like to have some fresh flowers but I find it to early for spring bulbs. I do agree that the red ones are too 'christmasy' (?), but the other colours are the ideal in between blooms. Next week it's time for Narcissus.
I agree completely :-)
Waxed Amaryllis bulbs how to save and replant. FYI
Susan's in the Garden has a good video how to remove wax and replant.
Sheila McDade from Chattanooga here . . . I loved your outfit "le jour" especially the fuchsia pink earrings. QUESTION REGARDING OVERWINTERING: Do you or have you ever dug up and overwintered your tulip bulbs? Mine always rot in our clay soil and wet winters and I have never gone to the trouble of digging them up. Sometimes they give me 2 seasons but rarely.
Same experience here. I don’t have any place to really overwinter them, and for all of the trouble, it just isn’t effective. I would rather have guaranteed success and plant new every year. For me it is well worth the expense and the time!
@@LindaVater Expense is right! And they only last a short time . . . but they are SO BEAUTIFUL!
Mine never bloomed - keep the red ones thru Vday
Hi Linda, do you have a link for the earrings please. Thanks so much!
amzn.to/3osdw1s
Love your amaryllis display. Mine didn’t bloom. Should I bother to keep the bulb?
If it’s a good quality bulbi might try it. If it’s small and not firm, I would probably compost it
Here in Williamsburg I also plant them in the ground in the spring. How can I purchase the egg shaped trellis?
Go to qvc.com and just search Linda Vater Collection. On my products will come up including the trellis :-)
I hear you, I tried everything gardener's said to do & at Christmas nothing came back. I just threw out bulbs. I thought bulbs would be easy to save year to year. 🤔northeast Ohio is so different in climate than Oklahoma.
Linda I have a plant question. I brought in two lavender topiary, one is still alive the other just dried up, but I'm thinking maybe it will come back. LOL I live in Chicago zone 5. My question to you is can I trim them, and next year should I just plant in ground?
That pretty much sounds like my experience, they are typically so route bound by the time we buy them, that they are typically not real long lived. I just enjoy them while I have them. And I always keep them in pots because I know they will die for sure if I plant them in the ground lol!
What color is your wall behind you ? It’s a beautiful light yellow . Please please share the color of paint .
Watch my video that will be published today… I answer lots of those kind of questions
I bought an amaryllis, it bloomed beautiful white blossoms but didn’t grow any leaves. Instead it looks like a couple of leaves are growing from the side of the bulb, could this be a new bulb and will the large bulb survive?
I see that you have “frosty ferns” in your arrangement. I have never been able to keep them alive. What is your secret?
I find they need lots of water and humidity. Which can be very difficult inside during the winter. Most of the time I just enjoy them for as long as they last!
Any advice for amaryllis that are taking forever to grow/bloom?
If the bulbs are new, I would just suggest giving them a bit more warmth and light. Once they start showing signs of a bud or leaf growth, then start watering them regularly
Linda thank you so very much! I will do just that!! It is so very kind of you to reply!
@@LindaVater thank you so very much for the advice! It was so very kind of you to take the time!
I am in south East Florida. My amaryllis are still blooming. When finished do they need a down time in the refrigerator or can I just put them in the ground? Advice please.
Nope!
Hi Linda…. Have you ever grown Clivia?? I’m in Bucks County, Pa… 7B🪴🌹💕
No but I am familiar with them and absolutely love them. If I had more space and Greenhouse I definitely would!
I had gotten one from my niece. It was a cutting. It takes seven years to bloom. In the winter you put it in the basement and stop watering… it is six years old this year. I’m going to bring it outside and start to feed it in the late spring and hopefully it will flourish…. I too don’t have space for it and my house doesn’t face the right way to put things in the window…oh well, I do the best t can and wait!!
Love your show… you are a breath of spring in the middle of our crazy weather this year…. Glad you didn’t have ice like last year!! The days are getting longer thank God!!💕🌹💐🙋🏻
I do love roses but they never do well in my living room 😏😒
Where did you get that smaller brass colored circular support for amaryllis leaves?
It came with the Breck’s bulbs I ordered!
Thanks so much. I will check them out. It’s a good size, about 4 inch wide it looks like.. Others I have are too big to really help with all the leaves.
First
Second 🙁🙁
I plan my amaryllis to have some bloom after Christmas. I have 2 white ones (from wax) I bought from Trader Joe’s last year and potted up that are getting ready to bloom.
