    I found these amaryllis flowers at my local co-op so knowing how my mom loves them, i had to get her some but at 12 dollars a pop i had some long hard thinking on my hands lol... The flowers cost a little more but every time i go there i find something new, so i try to look over the prices. But a ladder would make it easier lol.

    They may have been a tad expensive but they are certainly beautiful. An added bonus is they they will flower for your mum every year so the money you paid out was well worth it.

    I know they were a tad high but considering some of the prices that orchids go for, its not too bad. At least they'll spread fairly quick to the point where i'll be able to get a few bulbs back in a year or two lol.
