Alluring Amaryllis Flowers

Putting aside garlic and onions, Filipinos are not too accustomed in plating bulbs.
Less attention were given to them evethough some bulbs can blossom a majestic flower.
Around May, we have orange amaryllis blooming in our frontyard. They are really nice to see around but sadly they can only flower once or twice a year.
Pink Amaryllis Flowers
It was just recently I discovered that other colors of amaryllis exists and can grow well in the Philippines. There are red, pink, whites and combination of the colors.
I searched and bought these colors and planted them on seedling bags.  The pink amaryllis above is the first flower bloom from the plants I bought.  I can't wait to see them produce more flowers in the next years. 



The photo at the right is the appearance of amaryllis bulb, each bulb will produce roots, leaves and eventually flowers. By the way, don't bury the whole Amaryllis bulb under ground. Leave a third portion of it visible and above the groud.  Write down comments if you are interested in planting these bulb. I'll help you find your planting material.
