Amaryllis blooming & AV update

[darkcedars]

The first bloom on the amaryllis is fully open. I think it will have 4. I thought it wasn't going to bloom because it put out some leaves first.





African violets update:

• Chantaspring died - this was the micromini that I tried to wick water. Maybe a yellow wasn't my best idea to try a micromini with. Yellows are always weaker for me.
• Rolling Dew Drops is looking terrible - I had planted it in the chicken pot. Previous plant in pot this had also died oddly. I had tried to spray seal this with acrylic clear paint, maybe didn't do a good enough job? Moving it into a different pot.

I'm not going to trust the spray seal. There's a second pot not in use that I did the same thing with (elephant). Wonder what is in this pottery.
