New Cold Frame

I got this new cedar cold frame from Menards yesterday It was on clearance for $40. Pretty good deal I think originally it was like $60. What a steal now time to winter sow some seeds.

In my garden there is a large place for sentiment. My garden of flowers is also my garden of thoughts and dreams. The thoughts grow as freely as the flowers, and the dreams are as beautiful. ~Abram L. Urban

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!! here is a Garden quote. "Agriculture is our wisest pursuit, because it will in the end contribute most to real wealth, good morals and happiness" - Letter from Thomas Jefferson to George Washington (1787)

Amaryllis, La Paz & Hercules

Two more Amaryllis(Hippeastrum)have bloomed today the large pink one is "Hercules" and the small star shaped Cybister amaryllis is "Laz Paz".

More Amaryllis Blooms

My Amaryllis's are blooming out more so I thought I would share some more pics. I am a bit disappointed that they did not turn out to be "Minerva" and "Red Lion",

they look nothing like the pictures on the boxes, but they are still beautiful.

Thanksgiving Amaryllis Blooms

Some of my Amaryllis bloomed today, what a nice Thanksgiving surprise, in more than one way. The Large one in bloom in the first photo(and second) was supposed to be "Minerva" but it seems its probably something else because it does not have a white throat. Maybe a "Red Lion"? not sure yet. The one on the right in bloom in the the first photo is a "Red Lion". Oh well I recently started an Amaryllis collection going to try my hand at Hybridization. I have 20 different varieties and probably won't be getting any more because of lack of space. Well I say that now anyway, lol. Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!!! May you all have a blessed day!!!
