The shadow is almost as pretty as the plant itself. I have Appleblossom too but it has a way to go before blooming as I just brought it up from the cellar and repotted it last week. It's a real beauty!
They sure are a great delight during these winter months that keep us stuck inside.
You should see the Clivia today..7 blooms are open and it's gorgeous! I hope yours blooms again soon. Treat it as you would an Amaryllis...don't forget to begin feeding in the spring...then let it rest for a couple of months and hardly water.
Also enjoyed your foliage post. Your plants sure had a tough time. It's so sad to lose them. I hope most come back.

Thanks everyone. I now think I've got a different variety than Apple Blossom, although that's what the package said. Dang big box purchases!

Cindy - you're right about dead plants looking alike. I ended up not posting all the pics I took because of that!

Jean, I photographed the damage around my gardens, too, as a reminder for myself in future winters. I was going to post them but, dang, one dead brown plant looks very much like another!

Gail, thanks. I'll shoot you an email w/the details on how I shot the photo.

I've got an amaryllis in bud also; another few days and I might have had a bloom for this Bloom Day.

Thanks for the plug about Foliage Follow-Up. I look forward to seeing your post.

I love your silhouette and I too have an amaryllis about to.....I am going to try to post on foliage tomorrow. I should just do that post right now.

Gorgeous bloom.... I am glad we had this event because I was able to find your blog for the first time.
Happy Bloom Day ... can't wait to see what you share next month.

I shared a v-blog from my very green Greenhouse in Ohio. I hope you stop by and take a look!

I like your silhouette shot of the Amaryllis. I think the official flower of this year's January Bloom Day is the Amaryllis.

It may not be blooming yet, but it is still lovely, Jean, and your photos are so artistic. I'm looking forward to seeing what did make it through your Arctic blast--it will be interesting to see what plants are true survivors.

happy bloom day. Your amaryllis is beautiful in bud but I'm sure it will be stunning when it opens. I'll be looking out for that bloom.

Cool idea to photograph the shadows; lovely bud photo.

I'll be interested in seeing your pix. I'm not far from Pam/Digging and we're in a bit of cold shock here too.

I'm with Nell Jean on having this be The Year of the Amaryllis. And yours is one of the most stunningly-photographed I've ever seen. Beautifully done.

I wish I had an amaryllis about to open.

I've declared this the Year of the Amaryllis. So many of us had one or more for Christmas and beyond, and next fall everybody should buy two -- one to keep and one to share when it comes into bloom. Apple Blossoms is a fav.
