While this isn’t in a vase, I wanted to share this lovely Hippeastrum hybrid that is now blooming in my sunspace.
A few weeks ago, I accompanied my spouse on a stop to one of those big DIY retailers. Not interested in nuts, bolts or lumber, I wandered through the plant section while he shopped.
I always feel badly for the neglected and often doomed plants for sale there. The Hippeastrum bulbs were jammed into tiny boxes and most were starting to grow, many upside down. I needed to rescue at least one and I reoriented a number more to upright. Does anyone else feel the need to rescue plants at these places? This one has rewarded me many times over and is sending up yet another bud, making me glad I stopped by!

Your post reminds me that I have to put two recently bought Amaryllis bulbs into pots. Thank you! 🙂
Thank you, Hien. Enjoy them!
So beautiful! Mine is blooming too and they look so festive.
Thank you, Joanna. The second bud is blooming now. It looks so crystalline in the sunlight, a real beauty. Happy Christmas!
And I’ve just noticed we have a second stem on the way too – woohoo!
Yay!
ps. And a very merry Christmas to you too!
