Holiday flowers, Christmas-New Years

I still have all the flowers from summer to log in here, almost done and as soon as they are finished, they will be posted. In the meantime, These are the holiday flowers raised this year durring December-January. We always plant the classic dark red "Double Dragon" Amarylis. In addition, this year we had some "Apple Blossum" (the pinkish white) and my favorite, first time having them, the all white, "White Alfresco's). As you can see these have many more layers and can grow to be larger than the usual red ones. We will save these bulbs for sure, packed away with all the christmas gear. Along with the Amarylis, we did the Ziva Papperwhites and Carnegie White Hyacinth, even a few tulips just to add to the color of the collections. Instead of the usual ceramic pots, went with these small wooden box's that have no lid on the top. Lined them with plastic, then filled them with a mix of garden soil, potting soil and Spagnham Moss. They turned out better than anticipated. And even after the blooms, the plants continue to grow, several of the Amarylis have sprouted new flower stalks along with the Hyacinths...
