A couple updates...

In the first picture, you can see that the biggest Amaryllis bulb is starting to send out a bud. This bloomed last year and it was a beautiful flower. Oh, also an update on the Amaryllis that bloomed a few weeks back, It appears that only one seed pod was successful out of four.

I'm surprised that many of them are starting to bud. I hope many of them open at the same time so that I can cross-pollinate.

What blows me away is that three rose bushes are budding. It's only a matter of time before I finally know the colors of some of them.

Yarrow

People keep asking me what I do for the yarrow and the answer is... nothing! I don't know why they're so tall. It's pretty neat that there's so many buds ready to open. It'll be a blanket of white pretty soon.

  1. Your Lilies seem to be growing faster than mine. Mine aren't as tall as yours but I'm hoping for some to be blooming simultaneously so that I can cross them too.


    Last year I went around the neighborhood collecting various seed pods from them but now I can't remember where I put the seeds.

  2. You don't know where you put the seeds? That's just as bad as a family member tossing out the seeds you were saving! hehe.

    Lily seeds need to be planted out in fall before winter, right? That way they pop up in spring?
