Blooms in December
This amaryllis was from a lady who gave her whole huge pot of them to Aunt Kathy's cousin; Mary Lou. Kathy had them in her front yard...the whole pot of them actually, one fall and gave both Gail and I a few of them. They are super determined to survive because I do just the bare minimum to care for them. They bloom, then leaf out. I keep them in the house until it gets warm enough in later Spring to leave them out on the porch. I leave them on the North side of the house, under the air conditioner, so they get the condensation dripped all over them. I bring them in before they freeze and generally just let them die back. I do fertilize them occasionally over the summer and fall. Though I am really not sure if they need it or not. The leaves just naturally die back. I vaguely know they need a dormant period, where the leaves die back, but I don't know when exactly that is supposed to be. This year the leaves had died back duri...
