I've never had so much pink as I've had this winter. Even in summer I hardly have any pink blooms. But for my birthday this year I received several Amaryllis bulbs. I planted them November 21, it was a pretty Monday, a good day for planting bulbs. They started blooming quickly and I had whites first, then white with a pink edge, then by December another white and another pink, a couple of reds. Lots of blooms!
They say it's good to save the best for last and somehow that's what happened. Not that I planned it, the Amaryllis did. I had not a bit of control. But today has been a beautiful day for January. It was about 60 degrees of brilliant sunshine. So I took my last Amaryllis blooms outside on the deck for an hour in the sun. They seem to be pinker than ever now.
It's been a really good winter for pink Amaryllis, particularly those named Candy Floss.
