rita d's Journal

Yes, reallt, looks similar! I was told mine is amaryllis, and I never checked. I used to think it is amaryllis. I love it anyway :)))

I love it too Olga, Hope its not too long before mine is as good as yours. Dont you think VALLOTA sounds a bit Russian??

Yours is good too. Mine started to bloom just 3 years ago (this is the 3d time). At first year there was 1 stem, second year - 2 stems and now I've got 3! No, for me Vallota sounds Italian :)))

i think amaryllis bulb is more exposed above the soil because it likes the sun. once your flower blooms rita it will be a lovely shade. leaves look lovely and healthy

Rita when you are able to read this I am sending all my 'Best Wishes' to you for a most speedy recovery back to health.

Rita wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to your return to the gardening site. Best wishes

Rita, Best Wishes to you for a speedy recovery, hope to have you back on the key-board very soon X

Yes we are missing you around the site, get well soon.

Rita, Thinking of you and I hope you make a speedy recovery. I must say I miss seeing the little gems form your  treasure trove.

I am so sorry to read you have been in poor form Rita.Wishing you good health and back to full form.

Rita sorry to hear you have been in hospital.  Hope you are feeling better and that you will be blooming again soon.

rita, your garden is one of the featured ones online at the moment. WELL DONE!!!

Rita Ann and John wish you well hope you are back in the garden soon.

Rita I hope you are on the mend and able to be back to your treasured plants soon

Rita lovely to see your garden in the featured section. Hope you are well on the road to recovery, I have missed your little treasures.

Dear big sister lovely to see you featured, you are one in a million, cant wait to see you back at the computer in full health, we miss your sense of humour . We will not miss watering one tiny bit or trying to remember which orchid goes where. We had to move the synod as lorries are going in and out

Rita, just thinking of you and hope you are continuing to make good progress towards a full recovery.

Get well soon! Miss talking to you.

Hello Rita. This is my first time to read your journal. That Vallota Lily looks very like the enormous Lily I have but seems to more genteel. Mine has similar coloured buds but seven flowers come on the one stem one after another and the leaves are enormous although the snails put some manners on them. Like your other readers I pray that you will recover your full health soon. The name Vallota remnded me of Malta whose capital City is Valletta.

Wishing you well Rita, and looking forward to reading your journals very soon. Take care Joy x
