starving amaryllis




Instead of an amaryllis kit this year, I bought a lonely bulb from the fancy flower shop in the market. I had hardly any clean indoor compost at home so planted it in a desperate minimum of exhausted compost, the bulb more than half exposed. The results have been spectacular. Folks, starve your amaryllis. It'll panic and bloom spectacularly.

It's also a superb vermillion, so I'll feed it up and cosy it with some fresh compost - but after it's flowered.
