Christmas 101 – Gift Giving

A potted bulb is the gift that keeps on giving.

#Christmas ideas. We all want to find the joy in the holidays, but let’s face it, we don’t have a lot of time. An easy, yet thoughtful gift, is a potted bulb. I love potting amaryllis bulbs in a fun container like a quart-sized paint can, sealing the lid, and shipping it to my grandmother. Here’s why it’s the gift that keeps on giving: her calling with reports on its growth always brings a smile to my face and she’s thrilled when the little bulb finally performs her beautiful show.

  I have seen a lot of gift amaryllis kits in the shops lately. I thought it was a great idea, but unfortunately the bulbs had huge shoots of growth already visible. I am afraid it will be growing out of the box before I give it!
  Maybe I should find loose bulbs and make a kit myself, like you suggested!

  By the way, do the flowers come back after they have died down?
