Walmart Amaryllis


A few years ago my friend, Laura, and I got these amaryllis kits at Walmart in HI. The box comes with the little plastic pot, a disc of soil that expands to fit the pot when you add water, and one amaryllis bulb. In HI mine didn’t do too hot. It grew crazy tall and fell over. I think it bloomed…but only one flower I think. I just remember being upset that Laura’s lasted longer than mine.

Fast forward to this year in Alabama. I saw the same $5 amaryllis kit at the Walmarts here and had to get it. It was just a bulb for the longest time and I didn’t think anything was going to happen and then all of the sudden it exploded. And now I have this.

It has grown like crazy and has blooms all over it. I’m way excited. Me and flowers usually don’t mix well.
