So far it's working.

They have no labels but their flowers seem to be of that "moth" variety. One pot has developed "babies" - one on both stems. Any info at all on how to nurse these babies along would be so appreciated.

I haven't had much success getting them to bloom a second time, but given that they bloom beautifully for almost two months when I get them, so what! It wouldn't be Christmas without a white one and at least one red one on my kitchen window sill.<br /><br />Then I do like the amaryllis.... maybe I don't really need 50+ pots of them, Lishttp://www.garden-on-the-ridge.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20831949.post-13761753706925286642013-01-13T10:01:13.362-04:002013-01-13T10:01:13.362-04:00I love the primulas too Jodi.
