I live in Central Florida, growing zone 9B which is semi-tropical. 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. The red amaryllis you buy at Christmas are FORCED bulbs.
For the last few weeks, several red amaryllis have formed buds and then bloomed.
I hope my bright red flowers made you smile.

Carol – I am grinning from ear to ear! Such a deep red. Thanks for sharing with Mosaic Monday!
Wow, lovely! I remember we had an amaryllis in a pot back in high school, but they don’t grow outdoors here at all (I live in the Netherlands). Thanks for sharing. #MMBC
So bright and cheery!

They made ME smile…and I live here! But they really are exotic flowers to be blooming in the flower beds. I love them and red is my favorite color!
we do have exotic blooms from lots of other places, don’t we? I like living in semi-tropical Florida.
Beautiful bright and pretty 🙂
Have a blooming amaryllistastic week 👍
Red Amaryllis are beautiful like the white. Red is such a positive colour.
