This is the time of the year when our Amaryllis plants start to bloom. Four weeks ago we had a beautiful peach colored flower bloom from the larger plant, and now the baby plant sprouted two more beautiful light colored flowers. The Amaryllis plants belong to my hubby and we started bringing the plants into the library years ago, mainly because our library has these really large and high windows, so that makes for perfect light and growing conditions. Also, as the Amaryllis plant ages, it grows higher and higher and has now outgrown our bay windows at home
Every year some of my faithful library patrons wait and watch for the Amaryllis to bloom. I believe it has actually become a ritual at the Colfax Public Library. In the early summer, I will transfer the plants back home for a nice summer break outdoors, and then the plants return to the library in the fall before the weather turns bitterly cold. Who would ever think plants get such royal treatment? Maybe that's the key to keeping your plants happy, health and blooming!
