Plant an Amaryllis

Today is a great day to plant the Amaryllis you received for Christmas. If you didn’t get one, buy yourself one this week. They are so simple to grow and quite stunning with their tall bright flowers. On this last day of 2010, it’s an appropriate time to focus on new life in the new year. And since the landscape outside is sleeping under a thin layer of snow (wish we had received more), something growing and alive indoors is a treat. I received two seed catalogs this week in the mail, and whether or not I order something, they are a great way to spend a winter evening dreaming of spring and color. My hope for 2011 is to spend more time outdoors!

Should be blooming in 6-10 weeks
