Hippeastrum Jungle Bells

Copied from my fotopages

Another new Amaryllis was in bloom yesterday. Jungle Bells bulb that I purchased from Maria off eBay has finally bloomed, 26 days after arriving here.

Here is the pictorial progress ...

The bulb, immediately after arrival on 4th Feb, was having a root soak ...


7 days later, it was growing slowly ...


15 days later, the bud was finally pushed out of the bulb ...


18 days later, the scape was getting longer ....


... then, on day 25, the two flower buds were bulging, ready to 'pop'


in the morning of day 26, one of the buds bloomed partially ..


And the full bloom in the evening of day 26 ...horray!!! I got to witness with my own eyes, a fully double light green Hippeastrum!




Happy!!!!!! :-D :-D :-D
