Full Set of 4 Christmas Amaryllis - 2019
A few days ago, I posted about the Cherry Nymph Amaryllis bulb that I bought at Wannemaker's and planted in a pot to get the season started . I mentioned in that post that we were going to try (again) a few smaller (and much cheaper) bulbs from Menards. I found the receipt from Wannemaker's and the bulb that I bought there was $15.99 and after tax came in at $17.27. The other ones that I bought at Menards are sold as a "gift box" and as you can see from the photo below are going for $5.49. So...about 1/3rd of the price. We bought three of them - one for each of the kids to do as a project. These 'gift boxes' come with a plastic pot (with no drainage holes), what they call 'growing medium' (which I'm pretty sure is peat) and the bulb. We bought one of each variety. First is the Star of Holland. Next is the Red Lion. And last is the Apple Blossom. Here they are in their pots alongside the larger Cherry Nymph bulb. E
