amaryllis plants

Here's a photo of our three Amaryllis plants. Aren't they beautiful! We've studied them since they were bulbs and now they are beautiful blooming flowers!
On the far left is teh Red Lion. It's tallest leaf is 27 inches and the stalk is 28 inches tall. It has two goreous blooms and two mor that'll be open before we know it!
In the middle is the Star of Holland. It's stalk is 17 1/2 inches tall and the leaves grew to be 15 1/2 inches tall. We cut off it's original blooms that lasted for almost two weeks. It has another stalk that will have flowers that we'll be able to watch open up here at school.
Finally, on the right is the Apple Blossom. This one's stalk is also 28 inches tall and the leaves grew to be 20 1/2 inches tall. Two of it's flowers are about to open up and two more will be blooming soon.
We've really enjoyed watching, observing and logging the life cycle of these plants in Science!
