Amazing Amaryllis

By |

  About two months ago, Club members potted almost 30 different varieties of amaryllis and one by one they’ve begun to bloom in our homes and on our website. Our “Amazing Amaryllis” project was a result of looking for ways for members to have fun together in the time of COVID-19.   Drive by pick up and potting happened on a warm November day when random “mystery” bulbs were distributed to members. Since that time, we’ve been watching, waiting, and sharing the surprising results with each other.   Here is a small sampling of the variety.

This past Veterans’ Day, Suffield resident Fritz King, a retired Marine Gunnery Sergeant and a member of the Suffield VFW Post 9544, was amazed to learn that there are approximately 600 veterans in Suffield.
