OK--on a more serious note---\"ahem\'....

sINCE WE have been having some deep talks about Amaryllis care,
would there be any interest if I started a Thread on \"AMARYLLIS CHAT\"???

Today, I spent most of my day re potting all my Amaryllis. This means--taking each
bulb out of the pot it has lived in foe 2 years--cleaning it up, pruning back the
straggly roots, getting rid of some small bulbs that just did not make it--rotted..
Mixing up a huge amount of fresh soil and re-potting each bulb in same, or different
pots. Also--cutting back all the necks.

I documented all this in pictures as I worked today, so I would have plenty to
show you or talk about. Would there be any interest?

If not--I can also show all the pictures right here....but they would get lost in chat
and this Thread moving on when it gets too long.

LMK!

Meanwhile--here is a good picture from today showing a perfectly cut back neck
on an Amaryllis. This is how it should look if you do it.
