The pinkish red veined amaryllises are joining the party! About 20 blooms right new with new ones constantly replacing fading ones. Looking for a couple of weeks of more blooms. #HoCoMDGardeners

And the amaryllises keep on coming. Up to 16 stems and hoping for more! We moved from peachy pink to a more veined straight pink. More color variations coming up, posting this as a counterpoint of light to all the bs going on in the world.
