I do not have your climate and outside I just have mud and water but inside I do have a glorious amaryllis, formerly completely forgotten and uncared for, with four scarlet blossoms. A lazier, but equally ignored, sister is just now starting to send up a blossom shoot. You'll be glad to know that I am keeping them watered now.CommonWeederhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17704682182459794221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-61755150876349351292017-02-26T11:36:30.346-08:002017-02-26T11:36:30.346-08:00Yay!

And that's in my greenhouse which gets down to 40 degrees every night! That Arachniodes is amazingly hardy, especially given that it was considered a tender houseplant for a long time, and is still sold as a houseplant. I wish it grew faster in my garden. It may be time to take pity on it and move it to a location with more moisture. I'll have to look around for my favorites this month.

Just 2-3 days short of the norm and February throws my internal clock out of whack. I took a photo of an interesting newcomer to my garden (Ferraria crispa) just yesterday - if I come up with a few more, I'll get a post together tomorrow. I'm glad you could find signs of promise beneath winter's carnage.

I am amazed that your plants in the basement do so well with out natural light.
