Currently I am enjoying some surprising blooms. The Chrysanthemum plant, bought before the New Year is slowly fading and its mild scent is gone. But I am delighted to see that its faded colour (light purple) is just as gorgeous as the original burgundy :-)
My Cyclamen is reblooming after its first flush of blooms last month...

I was overjoyed to see this first bloom from one of the three Amaryllis bulbs that I have taken out from the fridge about five weeks ago (click here to see the bulbs). Earlier, the bulbs were 'put to sleep' in the fridge for about two months.
Ha Xuan, at last... here is my Amaryllis :-) Thanks again for sharing how to force Amaryllis to bloom. The method has worked for James' Amaryllis bulbs and mine!
When I bought this Amaryllis plant (most probably a Hippeastrum Vittatum hybrid) last June, the flower stalk was not even this tall. I am so amazed by the height that I even took measurements.

It was so wonderful to see the returning blooms of my yellow Gazania. But the joy was shortlived as I discovered some mealy bugs on the newly formed buds... so sad. I had to discard them in order to save the plant and have to be contented with just three blooms.
The same mealy bugs love my Hibiscus buds also. It has been an on going battle against this 'joy killer' but for now, I just hope they won't attack the Desert Rose and Bunny Rabbit flower buds.
The flower bracts of my Hydrangea have taken on a 'blush' and slowly turning to green after flowering for two months. As for my new Cyclamen and my old Desert Rose and Dianthus, they are flowering amazingly well this week. These blooms however are not going to be as long-lasting as Hydrangea :-(
