I wish I'd have thought about that last year when I got one I hadn't ordered. The white one is really pretty tho and at least it's something blooming until you get the replacement.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3702367777217796558.post-66233121818112614032009-11-30T11:36:30.445-05:002009-11-30T11:36:30.445-05:00The amaryllis is gorgeous regardeless!I am so jeal...The amaryllis is gorgeous regardeless!I am so jealous of the snow.

Thanks for the tips because this is my first adventure with them.<br /><br />Darla: I think I will take your advice. Couldn't hurt.<br /><br />Jen: Ahh, you are such a softy, but do not fear for the kitten because the neighbors has this nice barn with straw that they all run to a dark or to stay warm. I feed it and it sleeps in the barn so it will be alright. There are at least fifteen around here to snuggle up to.<br /><br />Meems: The snow is gone already and it has warmed up a little. I eat what we do not normally have daily and am glad for it too.<br /><br />Tatyana: Glad you and the boys had a good Thanksgiving ;-) <br /><br />Robin: My heart goes out to you friend at this time of the year ;-)<br /><br />Heather: Here when Halloween decorations hit the store so does Christmas. Everything all at once. Thanksgiving gets shoved to the back side or forgotten. Glad you dropped by.<br /><br />Nell: I am going to take everyone's advice and email them.Have a great day.<br /><br />KeeWee: The only time I like snow is for Christmas day but seems we never have it then so I could live without it.Lonahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07060003333138052194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3702367777217796558.post-16727293401753594052009-11-29T09:59:34.371-05:002009-11-29T09:59:34.371-05:00Not uncommon for an amaryllis to be mislabeled.

Apparently it's Boxing Day here in Canada already, trying to compete with the cross border shoppers taking advantage of Black Friday - Sears pulled out the Boxing Day signs. Yuck! At least let us get through Christmas without pushing Boxing Day.

I usually wait til mid Dec to start since I don't enjoy shopping.<br />Over indulge I did, though, on T-Giving, especially desserts..yum! Yes, winter is definitely here at least in temperature...no snow yet!<br />Your amaryllis is pretty! I love the 'diamond dust' on the dense petals. Mixed bins/labels is something I know well...lol. Once the plant is fully blooming like this white one, be sure to keep it in a cool room and out of direct sunlight so they'll last longer for you ;) Have a great weekend, lona!<br />Lynnlynn'sgardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09104383899991317740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3702367777217796558.post-31276499354242058462009-11-27T22:09:14.599-05:002009-11-27T22:09:14.599-05:00Nothing like drying my tears, and having a good th...Nothing like drying my tears, and having a good think about what I wrote.

It is different if there are other cats hanging out with him, for added warmth, but by themselves it is cold.<br /><br />I am certainly not trying to tell you what to do, and it is wonderful that you feed him. It is just so upsetting to think of that little kitten outside. Yes when it comes to cats, I am a bleeding heart. After all, Bootsie has been allowed to take over our place, and he did.<br /><br />Please don't be offended by this comment, I am just in tears, it breaks my heart to think of cats without homes.<br /><br />JenRURAL https://www.blogger.com/profile/11871803235521431504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3702367777217796558.post-10558185623515341012009-11-27T21:43:17.034-05:002009-11-27T21:43:17.034-05:00Lona, the turkey was good, and I didn't skip d...Lona, the turkey was good, and I didn't skip deserts!

I think both of the slow ones are doubles. This is my first time with them so I am trying to learn. I should have waited to start them maybe.
