Every Autumn our brother Kevin orders amaryllis and paper white bulbs for his mom and sisters. (Thanks Kev!:) The amaryllis are our favorite. We love to give them as Thanksgiving and Christmas gifts and love growing them for ourselves. I personally have a hard time deciding which ones I should give away, and yet I want to give one to every neighbor and friend I have! They're so exciting and gratifying to watch grow and so easy to care for.
We order our bulbs at www.johnscheepers.com. You can order gift boxes that come with the bulb, soil, and a pot to plant them in or you can just order the bulbs individually and plant them how you wish. Lowes and Home Depot also sell the bulb gift boxes. However, the bulbs usually aren't as big and the variety is limited. I will post the end result in several weeks when these bulbs are blooming!
