I’ve shared multiple posts this year on my amazing white amaryllis which has flowered multiple times this summer. Right before Independence Day, my big white amaryllis produced a huge new stalk with 4 buds.

I bought several plants and as I paid, I was told everyone who purchased today got a free frangipani. Then they handed me what looked like a stick. Read More
