“I remember a trip to the Caribbean where we saw them all over, even growing on people’s roofs.”

I was enchanted just like that in Hawaii. After I made my (ex) husband pull over for the 15th time he said, “Yes! We get it! Amaryllis grow here like the orange Ditch Lilies back home!”

You can see why he’s my ex, LOL!

We loved the rainforest in Puerto Rico too. The plants growing everywhere are sold as houseplants here. I remember tons of purple wandering jew.

I love amaryllis! But they are short-bloomed, especially if we have heat. I put in a small patch:

My neighbor does a mass planting in his front yard - and people stop their cars to take photos, some years he does spider lilies.

I can't grow tulips, crocuses or hyacinth without a lot of hassle.
