I have been on Fb gardening groups and and I have been exchanging plants with others. I have a whole lot of Zephyranthes or rain lilies and amaryllis (a few varieties) and didn't know what to do with them Now they are going fast and furious and raining more lilies and amaryllis on me. I am waiting to have all those new lilies I have now acquired to bloom. It will be a colorful day for me. A few days ago I was just planning on planting them along the road so I could free up some space.. but now they are bringing me all the lilies I so longed to have. Its raining lilies here!

I suppose if you did plant them by the road they could spread the pretty further

@Jessicalynnt That is what I was planning to do.. before I realized how many other collectors wanted what I have.. There is the other problem of having the bulbs run over by cars and trucks when the season is over and the leaves die down.

@sofssu That is so neat that you found people to exchange bulbs with. I do exchange clippings of my house plants with others. I like the variety I get.

@LadyDuck They are very attractive when planted in large groups. I hope you get those bulbs they are called Mrs Garfield.

@mom210 Lilies are the least bothersome of plants. plant them and forget them. Maybe in winter you need to cover them with mulch .. containers can be kept in the garage for overwintering.

@jaboUK They have been blooming endlessly for me this year. What I love about them is that they need very little maintenance once I have planted them.

@DianneN I wish I could send you some.. but there are restrictions across the oceans. They do have a very mild but sweet fragrance.

I love the amaryllis and would love more, but I don't have the room for them. Enjoy what you can and give away the rest.
