    Those Amaryllis would brighten anyone's day. What a lovely surprise and all at once? Or perhaps the Amaryllis have been having a party and you did not know about it. They look strong and vigorous. Much better than the snow out my window. Thank you for the pick-me-up.

    Yes, See what happens when I listen to my hubby......I just knew they were Clivia but he kept correcting me. Oh what a kick we got out of this.

    Please note I am going back up and correcting this. That error must not go down in history.....

    :D :D :D

    I've changed your post for you Barb so it now reads Clivia lilies.

    eileen, Thank you for changing that. My internet went off line for a while and I couldn't do that. I hate incorrect info to be on line to very long for someone may use it and that wouldn't be good.

    Thank you all. My first one was given to me by a very close friend years ago. I keep splitting them up. They have been crammed in this place for the last few years since I have done very little with the whole greenhouse. This year I will get out there and fix it up.

    Before 5 years ago....I had a little kitchen table toward the back of the greenhouse and my friends would have breakfast or brunch out there with my rain forest music turned on very low. It was a wonderful and quite time. I hope to get that table out there and have some friends over again.

    It's wonderful when things are blooming....

    I think I need to try to grow Clivia lilies again. They're so pretty.
