Hi everyone,
This year Rach and I decided to offer the grandkids the chance to grow their own amaryllis and win a prize or two as well. I planted a number of bulbs one the same day, and have gotten a potted bulb to all the kids who wanted one. The rules are simple:
Grow your plant (no direct sunlight, but a nice bright place), Measure the size of your plant each week and post on the blog. Pictures are fine too. Prizes will be given for tallest plant, first blossom, biggest blossom and most blossoms. I don't know if this will get done before Christmas, but whenever your plant is done blooming will be fine. Rachael, Taylor, Isabella and Kade all have plants. Sorry, Emma, you have to grow a little more before this works for you.
I am excited to see how you all do! I'm not competing, but if I have good luck with mine and can figure out the picture thing I may add a picture. I hope you have fun. Maybe this can be an annual thing??? An adult division next year?? We'll see how this goes! Love, Grandma
ps....A picture of kade's amaryllis is attached. You can see a little tiny shoot just starting!

Mom,
Kade was excited this morning to find a second shoot on his amaryllis!!
Tay's isn't doing anything...I have it in the N. Window...what are we doing wrong??
I don't know, Tammy-- maybe try it in your nice east living room windows. Sometimes they are slow to start-- don't give up hope yet!!
