This is a follow up to my post about planting 2,083 spring bulbs last Fall. You can check that post out here.
I just want to show you how the bulbs look in bloom. I am totally loving them. They sure brightened up my yard with color. I don’t know why I didn’t do this years ago.

We had a burst of sunshine and warmer temperatures for about a week. The temps are dropping a little with a bit of rain on and off for the next week or so. I spent some time getting started on garden clean up. Lots of pine needles got raked up, rose bushes trimmed, and other general Spring garden maintenance.

I have seen them in seed and plant catalogs for years. I have watched others show them off in various posts. But I have never grown one. This year was the year. Hmm, a lot of firsts this year in my gardening. Amaryllis are beautiful flowers. They come in all colors and are huge and spectacular. Amaryllis is a flowering bulb that is typically forced to bloom during the holiday season.

Yep, you read that right. I planted 2,083 spring bulbs.
I love spring bulbs – tulips, daffodils, hyacinths and many more. However, they need to be planted in the Fall and my Falls tend to be a bit busy. It’s getting colder, days are getting shorter, garden cleanup is happening, harvest is ending. Anyway, this year I thought I would do it. I bought over 2000 spring bulbs and planted them in batches.
