Try Amaryllis to Fight Winter Doldrums


The weather this week is sunny and pleasant, but gray days are coming. My favorite cure for winter gloom is an amaryllis or two around the house.
In my opinion, one of the best sources for amaryllis bulbs is White Flower Farm. Click here for a link. But this plant has become so popular that you can pick up bulbs at supermarkets, chain pharmacies and home improvement stores. It's worth a try to start bulbs soon and enjoy their unfolding beauty over several weeks. Some of my most memorable picks have been Aphrodite, Picotee and Apple Blossom, but each year White Flower Farm offers interesting new varieties.
