Today, I am want to post about my Amaryllis red lily. I have almost given up hope on my Amaryllis lily plants because they were not doing well and haven't bloomed for a long, long time. I didn't have the heart to discard them, so I just left them be in the plastic planter with the other plants just outside my front gate. I will feed them with fertilizer and water them together with my other plants. Then just out of the blue, I noticed a flower stalk coming out from the soil and later the buds appeared and then the flowers. Finally, after being dormant for so long, it decided to bloom.
These spiral staircases can still be found in Ipoh old town especially the buildings along the Concubine Lane.
So Jacob left Beer-sheba and journeyed toward Haran.
That night, when he stopped to camp at sundown,
he found a rock for a headrest and lay down to sleep,
and dreamed that a staircase reached from earth to heaven,
and he saw the angels of God going up and down upon it.
At the top of the stairs stood the Lord. "I am Jehovah," he said,
"the God of Abraham, and of your father, Isaac.
The ground you are lying on is yours!
I will give it to you and to your descendants.
(Genesis 28:10-13, The Living Bible-TLB)
I love this lily. So beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Rose.
DeleteWhat a wonderful surprise to find that your Lily is fine and thanking you for not discarding it. It is showing that appreciation by blooming so beautifully.
ReplyDeleteThank you for joining the Happy Tuesday Blog Hop.
Have a fabulous Happy Tuesday, Nancy. ♥
Yes, its beautiful "thank you" blooms.
DeleteWhat a beautiful Lily. I wonder if I could grow Lilies in my garden once the garden is created. Right now all I have is mud and more mud. I'm so sick of this mud.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful Tuesday Nancy.

I am sure after the mud is cleared, you will have a beautiful garden. Have a wonderful day.
DeleteThey are beautiful. Glad that you didn't give up on them.
ReplyDeleteYes, I am really glad I didn't give up on them.
DeleteBeautiful flowers! Love the colour. Good that you have faith that they will grow one day. How's your cauliflower? Any sign yet?
ReplyDeleteThank you, Mun. Oh yes, finally I can see sign of tiny cauliflower. Very excited about it.
DeleteYay! 👏👏👏 Luckily u waited patiently for the cauliflower to appear. 👏👏👏
DeleteYes, I am keeping a close watch over them.
DeleteThe spiral staircase frightens me. I have not walked up this spiral staircase at the back of these olden days buildings and I don't dare to do so. Have you?
ReplyDeleteI had but I was holding tight onto the railing and very careful and slow with each step. Plus I dare not even look down or around me while doing so, just focusing on the steps.
DeleteYour lily is so pretty, I'm glad you didn't give up and discard it!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Martha. I am glad too.
Delete...my amaryllis ha three large leaves that are making food for the bulb, late in the fall I can enjoy its red flowers. Those spiral stairs are a wonderful addition to the old building. Thanks Nancy for sharing, take care.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Tom. Hope your Amaryllis will give you lots of beautiful red flowers.
Deletevery nice :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Klara.
DeleteI am not surprised at all that it finally bloomed. Because you can grow anything. Does anyone actually USE these stairs? They look dangerous!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Ginny. Some of those spiral staircases are still in use.
Deletebeautiful flowers nice sharing

DeleteEs precioso, yo tenía uno igual. Besos.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Teresa.
DeleteVery pretty! I have a fondness for spiral stairs.
ReplyDeleteThank you, William.
DeleteYour amaryllis has really bounced back! It is absolutely gorgeous! And Your photo of the spiral stair case is wonderful! I LOVE spiral staircases, my parents had one. THe outside ones remind of a fire watch tower I rode into by horseback in the Rocky Mountains.
ReplyDeleteThank you and have a happy week.
DeleteSuch beautiful flowers! You do so well with growing things.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Mimi.
DeleteA flowery post today! Long time no see your garden of harvest!
ReplyDeleteMy garden has been neglected.
DeleteBeautiful lily you must be pleased it appeared once again.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Margaret.
DeleteBeautiful lilies. The plants are so small only (though obviously healthy) to be producing such big flowers.
ReplyDeleteGuess those staircases save valuable indoor space.
Thank you, Stacy. You are right about the staircase saving space.
DeleteWhat beautiful flowers! they look like they were worth the wait, what a nice surprise to see it flower! :)
ReplyDeleteHope that your week is going well :)
Away From The Blue
Thank you, Mica. I love surprises.
DeletePiaoliang Hua!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the name.
DeleteSuch stunning flowers
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jo-Anne.
DeleteSuch a beautiful flowers Nancy! Congrats! I havent grown them but it is said that "Lily flowers are so emotional plants".
DeleteYou are right about them being emotional plants because they only bloom when they choose to. Lol!
DeleteSometimes flowers just appear for YOU!
ReplyDeleteThey like giving surprises.
DeleteAmaryllis flowers are so pretty! I usually see it in the late winter when they come up indoors. Outdoor ones would be good to have as I am allergic to them when indoors. I have a couple canna plants that are annuals. I was surprised they lived through the ice storm. I shook one out of pot to get rid of it. Saw there were stems coming up. I put it back in the pot. Cleared old leaves off it and the other one as well. Looking forward to the flowers. I need to transplant one as the pot is broken. Have a good day!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Grandma Beckyl. Good thing your canna plant in the pot survived the ice storm. Have a wonderful weekend.
