First off, I like to wish you all a Happy Easter weekend!
- On April 8 we had this beautiful Amaryllis White Nymph, blooming in our wood garden. Yes, it does grow outside year round! We were lucky to have it in full bloom before we even went on vacation to south Florida. Most of my blogs I had prepared ahead of time. But we've come home in time for the Easter weekend.
- This Amaryllis we got from White Flower Farm where we bought numerous plants and bulbs over the years. Highly fragrant huge double white blooms come on a very thick stalk, with even more than one bloom per stalk. It resides in our wood garden now for more than a decade. Come join me for a Garden Tour.
- There is a resident inside this Amaryllis... A spider has woven a cobweb to probably trap flying insects and than attacking them from below. Nicely sheltered from the rain him/herself, as those petals are rather thick and strong.
- A hairy resident...
This is a beautiful post. Thanks for sharing you wonderful flowers with us.
ReplyDeleteWauw... die is mooi, is een van mijn favoriete snijbloemen, maar die kunnen we hier natuurlijk niet planten.
ReplyDeleteNooit eerder gezien dat iemand die in zijn tuin had.
En wat leuk van dat 'huisje' in de kelk.
che meraviglia, un bacio e buona pasqua da ady
ReplyDeleteMariette,
ReplyDeleteherrlich diese Amaryllis. Es muss wunderschön aussehen in Eurem Garten.
Interessant ist der Wohnort der Spinne schon. Sie wird genügend Beute machen, denke ich.
Lieeb Grüße

Liebe Mariette,
ReplyDeletedas is ja der Wahnsinn ... bei dir blühen die Amarylis tatsächlich im Garten??? Hier bei uns gibts die nur als Topfpflanze und die wollen auch nicht immer so wie man meint.
Auch ich wünsche dir von Herzen ein wunderschönes Osterfest und ein truamhaftes Wochenende im Kreise deiner Lieben.
Gaaaanz liebe Grüße ... Sonja
Mariette ti auguro una felice e serena Pasqua con i tuoi cari.. ^_^
ReplyDeleteBaci
Sesè
Amazing pics as always dear Mariette!
ReplyDeleteWishing to all of you a wonderful Easter weekend in the enchanted garden of yours! Lots of love and thankful wishes!
Carissima queste immagini di fiori così candidi trasmettono serenità all'anima. Tanti cari auguri di una serena e gioiosa Pasqua a te e a tutti coloro che porti nel cuore. Paola
ReplyDeleteMeine Güte, bei Dir wachsen die Amaryllis so im Garten und hier zieht man sie mehr oder weniger erfolgreich in Töpfen groß.
ReplyDeleteGenau solch eine weisse,gefüllte Sorte habe ich mir zu Weihnachten gegönnt :)
Liebe Mariette, danke für deine Mail, habe gerade versucht es umzusellen, aber nun landet man nur bei potobucklet!
Wieso weiss ich allerdings auch nicht.
Schöne Osterfeiertage und eine schöne Zeit wünscht Euch
Marlies
Happy Easter dear friend.. may you and your family make many wonderful memories. These photos are gorgeous.. love the way you capyure the spider. Nature is so beautiful, and just waits to be captured and shared ...xo HHL
ReplyDeleteIt was beautiful until I saw the spider!!! Gross. But necessary for the food chain I guess...
