Amaryllis Plants - Week 5

Here are pictures of our amaryllis plants - week 5.

This is Christy's plant ... fka Tiff's plant. Her plant never produced any flowering stalks, only leaves. While I think the leaves are neat, I'm bummed that it probably won't produce any flowers.


Here is Cara's plant. Her first stalk produced some beautiful flowers and after they died, she cut the flowers and the stalk off. Here is the result of her second stalk.


Here is Lisak's plant. Her flower was called "Romance" and it was beautiful.

Here is Pam's plant. Hopefully by the time we get back to work, it will have opened in a full bloom.

Yeah! Laura's plant is finally growing. It took some time, but now it's finally taking off.

Here is my plant. Yeah...it's finally starting to flower. The name of my plant is "Grand Cru" - whatever that means. LOL! I'm hoping tomorrow it's opened up alot more so I can take some pictures of it. I've started keeping a chart of the height of the stalks, and as of Friday, one of them is 20 inches tall and the other was 17 3/4 inches.

A Collage of our Amaryllis Plants

Here is a collage of each of our plants. It's been four weeks since I gave the girls their plants and I have taken a photo once a week of the progress of their growth. It's amazing how each of them is growing differently.

Amaryllis Plants - Week 3

Here are updated pictures of the Amaryllis plants I bought for myself and for the girls for Christmas. Some are really growing, and others, well, I think they might need a refund. LOL!!!

Here are a couple pictures of Laura's plant. If you look really close, you can see somewhat of a growth.

This is Pam's plant. She actually has two hearty stalks growing now.

Here is my plant. She's growing like a weed. Almost an inch a night.

And here is Tiff's plant. All she is growing is the leaves. I believe there is 6 leaves now.

This is Lisak's plant. She's got two hearty stalks growing on hers.

And finally....Cara's plant. What can I say? It's like the Leaning Tower of Pesa. She replant it last night and it's standing tall and beautiful today. The flowers are opening up and it's such a vibrant shade of pink. I'm going to try to get a picture of it tomorrow to post.

Amaryllis Plants - part 2

I took pictures again on Tuesday of our plants. They are posted in order of growth. As you will notice, some are really growing and others are not.

Amaryllis Plants

A few years ago at work, one of our VP's was sent an amaryllis plant by a client. I had never heard of this type of plant before and was amazed by it. The plant grew so fast, you could literally watch it grow before your eyes. I bought one for myself after that and had fun with it watching it grow. So this year for Christmas, I thought it would be fun to get the girls at work an amaryllis plant and we could all watch them grow and see whose would grow faster, to see whose wouldn't grow, etc. I gave them to the girls on the Monday before Christmas. The directions say that once the plant is planted, it would take a few weeks for growth. Tiff and I planted ours that afternoon, Laura, Pam and Lisak planted theirs on Tuesday, and Cara didn't plant hers until Friday...4 whole days later than the rest of us. On Tuesday at work, I took a picture of the progress of the plants.

This is my plant.
This is Laura's plant.

Here is Pam's plant.


And Lisak's plant.
Tiff's plant.
And last, but not least....Cara's plant. Can you believe how much it has grown?????? May I draw your attention to the black marker line on it. We marked it on Monday and by Tuesday, it had already grown that much overnight!

I think the reason for Cara's plant growth is due to the fact that she doesn't sit in the same area as the rest of us do. We are all trapped in a tiny little room with no natural sunlight and that's colder than Antartica. Cara sits out in the main part of the office and has lots of natural sunlight shining on her plant.
I plan on blogging and posting pictures weekly on the growth of the plants.
