Hippeastrum
May. 18th, 2012 10:14 pmToday, I have five times the number of species hippeastrum bulbs that I had yesterday. Such a mad extravagance! (I used the refund I got from cancelling my subscription to the Philadelphia Inquirer.)
Photos will be posted when everyone has settled in and put out new growth. In the meantime, the grower sent along the admonishment that these guys are likely to drop what's left of their leaves and sulk for awhile. I'm not so sure about that, but I'm prepared. They're all settled nicely into their spanking new pots. (That's new in the sense of nothing ever having been potted in them. I bought the big pot last year and the smaller pots are actually 16 oz Solo cups.)
I can't believe I paid $15 apiece for two yearling bulbs the size of marbles....
