Holiday Amaryllis from Rose Mountain Floral

This year they were purchased. Next year I will replicate them. Beautiful amaryllis with moss, pine cones, succulents and other accoutrements. Huge impact, affordable and super easy when done at home. These could make amazing gifts for friends, family and co-workers as well as beautiful home decorations.

Usually I plant amaryllis and paper-whites around Thanksgiving so they are in bloom by Christmas, and often gift them, but we are traveling this year. So Bob picked up these beauties at Rose Mountain Floral on Main Street in Kalispell, Montana. They did a much better job than I have ever done. First of all, the amaryllis have a shorter stalk so they will last longer and are much more stable. He then had them re-planted in white wine coolers (genius) so they can be re-used, and then small ivy plants, succulents, pine cones and moss around the base give it an elegance I will try to reproduce. Well done, Robert Wilkins!! Next year I will up my game.
