    I wanted to post a few pics of the Amaryllis that I wrote about in January of 2015. For those who don't remember, we ended up getting a bunch of them on clearance at Walmart after Christmas... for 2 cents per bulb!

    I made a raised bed out of old fence boards and they have been patiently waiting until now. 20160408_172520~2~2.jpg 20160408_172520~2~3.jpg

    Those 2 cent bulbs have got to be one of the best bargains ever. I'm so glad you found them. Their flowers are beautiful and will, hopefully, give you pleasure for many years to come.

    Mate---that is a sucess! Well done you.
    ...and the price is just topping on the tart.
    You must be really proud at this moment.

    Thanks for the comments Toni, Eileen and Sjoerd. Toni, I didn't find any bargains this year, but I was looking.
