Flamed Amadeus Amaryllis Second Bloom - February 2026

It may be February on the calendar, but it is still Amaryllis season in our kitchen.  The Flamed Amadeus Amaryllis is back in bloom in late February with two big blooms standing tall and proud.  You can see it below.  The last time I posted was in early February when the second stem was emerging from the bulb. It bloomed in early January after being planted in early November.   This is a nice treat for late February, but it makes me think about Christmas bloom-time.  I've often bought these with the idea of "Christmas Flowers", but increasingly these past years, they're mostly blooming *AFTER* Christmas each year.  That means...the dark reds are probably not worth focusing-on.  Instead...picking things like the Shine Dream that add a tropical feeling to the blooms is a better path.
