The Incomparable Amaryllis

April 17, 2020 Beth

Many years ago, I think it was 2010, a co-worker gave each lady in the office a boxed amaryllis bulb as a Christmas gift.  I had never had one and was a little skeptical about it because I had tried forcing paperwhites that came in a similar packaging and had little luck with them.  Most… Continue reading The Incomparable Amaryllis
