(Amaryllis is a subtropical bulb that belongs to the Amaryllidaceae family and is native to South Africa. It is grown as a potted plant in most parts of the United States but can also be grown outdoors year round in warm areas like Florida.)
Two weeks ago I shared a spring flowering tree with white blossoms falling like snow. The tree is still showering the ground with white blossoms. I believe it is a type of azalea that grows as a multi-trunk small tree. Now the ring of amaryllis around the tree are in bloom. Spring has arrived in Central Florida.
It is a gorgeous sight and I now drive out of my way to see it.
Wishing everyone blue skies and flowers.

Beautiful!
What beautiful flowers you have Carol. I wonder if I could have these flowers in my new yard? Since my yard hasn’t been done yet, I am in the set up of what I want to have in my yard.

They are not in my yard but about 2 blocks away in a neighbor’s yard. I do love the flowering tree and maryllis combination too. You live in Canada if I remember correctly. Azaleas and amaryllis would not grow in that cold a climate. I suggest you find a flowering fruit or nut tree that can handle your winters and do a ring of spring bulbs around it.
A very showy tree!
Yhe snow here still is for real.
Wishing you a warm spring.
Wow, both the white blooming tree and the orange amaryllis are stunning. Wishing a bright new week.
Have a beautiful day!
…I hope you amaryllis, mine just has green leaves.
my neighbor’s are beautiful but mine are still leaves with a few buds
Oh, that is a wonderful sight for all those yearning for spring!
Beautiful, the white flowering tree and the fiery red amaryllis. <3 <3 <3
Here in Eastern Austria it snowed heavily again today and it is freezing cold. But spring is on the way here too, next week it should be warmer – and on my blog there are again beautiful blossoms to be seen (this time from cornel, snow lilies, primroses and liverworts).
Have a happy new week,
Traude

Dear Carol,
thanks for your comment at my blog. I wrote you an answer there but I write it here, too:
No, the yellow flowers on the bushes are not forsythia. These are cornel cherry blossoms. Cornelian cherries are also called “Dirndl” in Austria – like the dress ;-)) This is a dogwood plant and this plant grows particularly frequently in a certain region in Austria – in the Pielach Valley. The berries that the shrub bears in early autumn are edible and are processed into jam, chutney, schnapps, fruit juice, etc. We took the trip to the Pielach Valley to experience the “dirndl” blossom.
All the best, Traude
I would totally love visiting this valley to experience “drindl” blossoms – thanks for the info!
Wow, was für gigantische Blüten! Wundervoller Frühling!
Liebe Grüße
Ingrid
thanks you – hope you have a wonderful spring.
Gorgeous snowy blossoms and amaryllis. I don’t know why my amaryllis are not flowering for a long time.
Carol – how wonderful that the tree with the white blossoms is still so lush. And with the amaryllis for a contrasting color! Fabulous! I can see why you would drive out of your way to see it! Thanks for linking to Mosaic Monday!
Gorgeous flowers!
It is beautiful and I would be driving out of my way to see this. Thanks for sharing such a pretty sight.
The blossoming trees are absolutely gorgeous!
Gorgeous amaryllis!
What beautiful photos of these spectacular blooms. The Amaryllis is blooming like crazy here too! We had showers yesterday so maybe there will be more flowers this week. Hugs!
Red and white is a perfect combination! When we lived in our condo in Southern California we had a small tree like oink azalea at our front door.They bloom for a long time, and the reason I like them much!I know flowers make you happy Carol, and spring must be your greatest “season1” Have a beautiful week, Jesh
spring has always been my favorite time of year – as a child I thought the world “came alive” again after winter. Happy Spring!
Love the snowy blossoms and amaryllis. How BEAUTIFUL!
Happy spring, Carol!
Absolutely gorgeous … it seems like you do get more of a Spring season in Central Florida than we do in the part where we spend our winter/spring (most years).
I’ve never seen an azalea like that, but whatever it is, it’s gorgeous!
Thanks so much for sharing at https://image-in-ing.blogspot.com/2021/03/duke-gardens-memories.html
I don’t mind winter too much but I love Spring with all the blooms and flowers.
spring is my favorite season of the year
It is a pity the blossom falls so quickly. A wonderful contrast of colours.
I always appreciate your glimpses of beauty and light!
Michele you always say the kindest things.
Gorgeous blossoming tree and orange lilies. I love lilies but so do the deer. I planted some and usually right around the time they are ready to bloom a deer comes and eats the buds, even when I spray them. It is a losing battle for me..lol. MY son’s neighborhood is full of white blossom trees –they are so beautiful! Right now we had snow again so it’s a true Springtime in the Rockies for this month.
I agree what beautiful flowers Carol lovely bright colours too
Have a bloomingtastic safe week 👍😷😷😷
So beautiful!
Enjoyed your lovely tree and blooming amaryllis
Have a good week
I am at #11 on the linky this week
much love…
Oh, those amaryllises are beautiful! I love their bright colors that contrast with the white blossoms on the tree. I would drive out of my way to see that too! Thanks for sharing the photos with us.
I so look forward to seeing snowy blossoms like that here!
I look forward to seeing your spring blooms on your blog.
Awesome amaryllis – I don’t think I’ve ever seen them growing outdoors before!
Lovely blossoms! I am looking forward to trees blooming here.
Amaryllises were one of my mom’s favorites. I had no idea they were not native to Texas.
Awww – lovely!
How beautiful your photos are. Gorgeous colors. Some azaleas do grow to be quite tall.
My amaryllis (indoors, in my New York climate) never bloomed this year. But all your blooms are beautiful! We won’t have azaleas until May.
By May we are going into hot summer. I can have a few white lilies that blooms, and hopefully my gardenias will bloom. Other than that spring blooms are gone and I just have my tropical plants.
The tree and the flowers are beautiful.
LOL. I grow Amaryllis in December for a decoration, It’s fun to see them blooming outside. (Too cold here in Wisconsin, I think, to grow them outside)
No they can’t handle freezing temperatures. It’s best to just use forced-bulbs in December.
What fabulous spring color you have! These are some amazing looking flowers.
I’m happy to see you at ‘My Corner of the World’ this week! Thanks for linking up.
I love Amaryllis, Thanks for joining in Garden Affair.
