Red Lion amaryllis
This is the second amaryllis plant that I have managed to make rebloom. Isn’t it pretty? This rebloom might even look better than the original bloom last year! Clever me. (Note: if you grow these, it is very important to put them in a heavy enough pot so they can’t tip over.) I use the Schultz liquid drops to make a weak fertilizer when I water so I don’t have to remember which plant needs what and when, and I think they like this regime, plus a south windowsill.
Of course, Ruby Tuesday 2 is the place to visit for more great shots with red featured in them. You also might want to visit Macro Monday, Weekend Flowers, Floral Friday, Today’s Flowers, SOOC Sunday (straight out of the camera), and Shadow Shot Sunday 2. Why not? If there is only one post here, be sure to click on Sara’s Fave Photos Blog on top or at upper right to see the whole enchilada here.

I live in Virginia, in the southern part, near the coast, and have had my amaryllis plant planted for over 8 years. I posted about it today also. This is a lovely photo of yours!

Very nicely captured. Flowers seem to be a popular subject for Ruby Tuesday this week.

Very pretty indeed. Amaryllis naturalize in our climate easily. Blooms and multiplies easily. Also try the true amaryllis belladonna.
