A couple of months ago I re-potted my assorted amaryllis bulbs, which had been rather neglected. As a result, none of the little ones look as though they’re going to flower this year. However, the one formerly on the bathroom windowsill, now living in the front room, has come into flower – about six weeks earlier than it ever has before! It’s the tenth successive year that it has flowered for me.
It’s a cheerful addition, though if it’s still in flower after next week there may be a problem … for the last couple of years I’ve tended to put the Christmas Tree up the weekend about ten days before Christmas Day (rather than following the family tradition of Christmas Eve, or my own inclination of the Solstice).
