Hi, absolutely stunning. Love the amaryllis, Apple Blossom. I can’t imagine being able to grow amaryllis in the ground. I have my 9 that need repotting before going outside for the summer.
We have Resurrection Amaryllis around here. The leaves come up in the Spring and die back, then the blossoms come up in the Summer (usually mid to late July).
It’s like us with tulips, freesias, crocuses and hyacinth - love them, but they need a deep freeze that we don’t have.
I have a friend that has tried to grow tulips for years - with little/no luck, she puts them in her freezer for six weeks and the plants them with little luck. So Cal is not the right climate for them, unfortunately.
