 I got this funny looking succulent plant, at end of July,summer 2010.Right now it is half sizes like i got it.Why???Because couple days after i planted it it stat bend at compost level,and then i check it,,,uff,there i going to lose plant,so i cutted off roots,and put it in small water.It have very nice quality,same like Busy Lizy,,it can grow roots in water.So it growed new roots,and slowely recovering after all,,and flowering too.Flower size is 1.5cm,or less.

Floods and Christmas amarillis.

Green amarillis.

 Hello to all!!!Hope you're all well,had great Christmas.And happy for green grass,what is back again.I would be ,if wasn't floods here.Our road turn in to river,all ditches is full with water,and road too.It is not posible to drive car or walk out of here.So,we stuck.

 There is my strange looking amarillis,,now actualy it look ok,,but when opened first flower,i though,,,uf,it is not pretty,why i bought it.....But now,when all 5 buds is open and nex flower stem is growing,it start  look like amarillis.
