More unpicking..............

I have used all of the loops from the first 3 stratas and now need to slice the last 2 stratas to finish up the design.  I'm really liking this second attempt for my bed.













Surprise!  The 2 Amaryllis bulbs I got on sale were marked red and stargazer which is red and white.  Obviously the package was mismarked.




I really wanted a white one and was disappointed when they didn't have any so I got  my wish with their mistake.  This is the plant with the 3 bud stalks.  The one to the left has 2 stalks and I'm wondering what color it will be.  I gave  another one to my daughter in law so I'm wondering what color that one will be too.

  3. :) that is exactly what happened to me - I bought the stargazer which was to be red and white and got two pure whites - both have three buds on them and are taller than I have ever seen!

  7. It's fun to watch your TAW quilt top grow. I had to go back and look at your first TAW and I love that one as much as this one. I didn't have time to look at all 149 posts on your TAW but .... was that the one you created for your bed first time.... was it posted August 28, 2018 ?

    Your white Amaryllis are so elegant !

  8. I buy amaryllis "kits" at the hardware store. They changed suppliers this year and the on-sale price was $8.99 (previous years: $4.99). I give amaryllis as hostess and neighbor gifts -- and keep one or two for us. We haven't started ours yet. (I have never seen amaryllis in a garden, have you?)

  10. What a beautiful flower. Your winter blooms have inspired me to purchase my own Christmas cactus. It is named Limelight and the color is a pale peach.
