Recycle Those Bulbs!

These amaryllis bulbs were purchased from a local gardener.

Her front yard is covered in blooms in March.

I had added them to this new bed just last year.
Here's how they looked a few months back.

These are SO easy! 

Like most bulbs, they ask for very little

and resurface each year

like princesses awakening from a long nap.

I love the pop of color they add to the surrounding greenery.

However, I am working on subduing

and simplifying the front yard

and have decided to put in a blue garden.

So, these have to be relocated.

I think I originally bought 5 or 6 bulbs.

As you can see, these babies regenerate over and over.

They are easily divided by pulling the bulbs

away from each other.  As long as there are roots,

they will regrow.  I trim the roots a bit

before replanting in their new location.

They are being used in the backyard for a splash of color

in the back of the bed.

They follow the curve we have created

and will be a sprinkling of contrast behind the saltbush.

The neighbor behind me will have a nice show.

Get yourself some bulbs

and enjoy the carefree rewards!

Autumn is here!
