So Beautiful


I love these flowers. Amaryllis. They are striking!
We have red ones, too.
I'm not sure how to make them stand up straight, though. The flowers are so top heavy that they lean and just keep leaning.
These flowers are a lot of work (half of the year in your garden outside. Dig up the bulbs in October-ish. Let the leaves die back for a month. Then pot them inside a few months later. After the last frost, plant them back in the garden, and repeat), but it's totally worth it!

I have those EXACT amaryllis blooming at my house. Use a garden stake (a slender stick kind) and some garden tape to tie up your plant or it'll end up tipping over and breaking off.
