Amaryllis 'apple blossom'

Every winter I go to blogs and see their beautiful amaryllis in bloom and I am always sorry that I did not buy a bulb in the fall.

So last Saturday when I saw this pink amaryllis, I bought it.

I was surprised to find this little round disk. The directions said to put it in 3 cups of water and let it sit for 15 minutes.

It poofed right up.

Then I stirred it and stuffed it around the flower bulb.

I hate ugly plastic pots, so I wrapped a piece of ....................guess what..........Burlap ...... around it!

I secured the burlap with two rubber bands and then tied a piece of pink fabric to hide the rubber bands (though I see I was not all that successful hiding them). Now all I have to do wait 4 to 8 weeks for beautiful blooms.



Here is what I hate about daylight savings time:

5:30 p.m. and poor DH is grilling in the dark.
