What a beautiful progression from bud to bloom...bursting bloom at that! Sometimes just looking at the garden can bring peace..and warmth into our hearts!

Absolutely stunning flower. I hope you are felling better soon.

March 31, 2012 at 12:27 PM

Hope this all makes you feel better. I love the amaryrilys too, I've not had much luck with it, lately, my cat keeps eating it.

Beautiful Amaryllis bloom, Snap... I think it is blooming to help you to feel BETTER.... Love those colors.

Get well..
Hugs,

I think at least half the fun of growing a plant is seeing it through the different stages of development. Your photos are wonderful, Snap!

Hi Snap
Hope your cold is better soon, there's nothing worse than feeling lethargic day after day.
At least you were able to share some awesome photos, the flowers should help you perk up.

Hi Snap,

How very nice to hear from you! Your amaryllis is just beautiful! It's neat that you have photos of the various stages from bud to bloom. I've never tried growing that particular flower; I think I should give it a try someday.

Thanks for your kind comments on my Old Salem post, and I hope you have a wonderful week!

Your amaryllis are gorgeous! I hope enjoying them will make you feel better....Christine

The amaryllis are in bloom here now and I'm always amazed to see them growing in the flower beds! Hey...you saw I finally did a month in review! heehee! I don't know how I finally remembered! You were supposed to remind me! lol Big hugs, Diane

April 1, 2012 at 8:04 PM

And such an elegant flower it is, too. How neat that you documented so well.

April 1, 2012 at 8:10 PM

Gorgeous! I love the colors! Hope you feel better. The eggs are chalk eggs.

Sorry about the cold - Hope you feel better soon. Enjoyed seeing the progression of the amaryllis blooming - they are beautiful!
Thanks for stopping by and nice comment.

April 1, 2012 at 8:49 PM

Hope that made you feel better, Snap. No fun having a spring cold!

April 1, 2012 at 9:00 PM

Amaryllis are stately flowers, to me. I hope you are feeling much better.

April 1, 2012 at 9:32 PM

And a beautiful bloom it is! We only grow Amaryllis indoors. I plant one at Christmas and love it. I can imagine how gorgeous they are outdoors. Hope you are feeling better.
Hugs,
Jann

That was a great little project!
I hope you're feeling a whole lot better. I've been away from the computer for the past couple of days and didn't know you'd been so under the weather. Here's hoping April finds you chipper and cold-less!

April 2, 2012 at 12:57 AM

Fabulous sequence of shots. It's an absolute beauty.

April 2, 2012 at 1:51 AM

I love your amaryllis, it looks beautiful from the buds to the bloom. Just gorgeous. Have a lovely week!

April 2, 2012 at 3:29 AM

These shots are great! There is nothing like watching a large flower like this open up. And to have them outside in the garden is spectacular - here in Canada they are a winter forced plant.

April 2, 2012 at 7:46 AM

Wow these is beautiful. The sign of spring has just sprung. Thanks for sharing.

I hope that you are feeling better. It's a beautiful bloom. I've never had one before.

April 2, 2012 at 10:43 AM

Beautiful photos. I love Amaryllis and am a little envious of anyone who can grow them. They are supposed to be easy, right? I have tried and tried and they will not grow for me. :)) Yours is lovely. Thanks, too, for stopping by my blog and leaving such a nice comment.

April 2, 2012 at 10:46 AM

Your amaryllis is gorgeous, Snap! I liked seeing the photos of it's development. Spring bring many miracles!

April 2, 2012 at 11:12 AM

PS: Feel better soon -- have some good chicken soup! {{ hugs}}

Wonderful shots of the amaryllis. Some of these shots look like paintings.

April 2, 2012 at 4:47 PM

Beautiful flowers. Anything blooming here is going to be upset by the foot of new snow we're expecting!

April 2, 2012 at 7:35 PM

Beautiful full shots of your blooms. Love it.

April 2, 2012 at 8:42 PM
