Having a relatively schizo winter weather season so far, but I am loving seeing the stretches of warm-ups between freezing temps. Could use a big old layer of snow over everything, though - that ALWAYS helps. We are still in a 'mild drought.'

Has anyone tried these 'waxed' Amaryllis bulbs? This is the first time I've seen them - they were in a gardening gift magazine I recently received. Not really 'feeling the love' for $35 a pop, though! Just curious. Seems odd that it would work.

'Picotee' is moving up in my rankings as one gorgeous Amaryllis! I have the 'Royal Velvet' started, but I am considering indulging in a 'Picotee' as well.
