Anna I cut the tops off plastic bottles and invert, filling the neck area with perlite. Place the bottle spout on palm and fill neck with perlite, add a little water, let drip out and perlite will swell blocking the neck. Set rootless bulb on top of perlite and finish filling the plastic top use shells, stones, beads to keep the bulb/bulblett in place. Set whole thing in a glass or bottom of bottle or in soil being careful to not imerse in water. Fill bottom cup with water just below where the bulb sets. I will also dig a small hole in soil fill 1/2 with perlite then set the plastic top with bulb in hole. Make sense? The roots seem to just grow knowing there is moisture waiting an inch or so below their basal plate. The plastic and perlite also support the bulb until roots develop. Perlite filled bottle top From 2010-2011 Amaryllis Set in bottle bottom with a little water covering neck of bottle top From 2010-2011 Amaryllis 2 Perlite seated bulblets set in soil with the mama From 2010-2011 Amaryllis I have received large rootless bulbs and for them, I use a quart or 1/2 litre size bottle...works just the same! Oh and I keep in window or sheltered area where rain won't over fill or float them until well rooted.

El, I don't think anyone who is a regular would think that? But who knows, I could be wrong as well? I just thought, like I said before he might pop on just to say it was him, he may get the urge to lurk for a min or two. Also had the thought that maybe we shouldn't jump to conclusions, automatically assuming it was Mike..I don't know if there is anyone else in on the SS who is from Arkansas, or not, but we could have been wrong about it being him..know what I mean? Didn't want to jump out there saying it was Mike, saying what a great SS he is, and then it NOT be him, ya know? I know it will prob be awhile before he's back again..but we can hope it will be sooner than later. I feel so bad about that situation. And for anyone who may think we are clicky..we're not :) lol

Oh Susan I thought it might be you because of the metal tags. Thank you so much for everything. It was so much fun to open. I'm wearing the Christmas bracelet right now. Loved everything! I only have my phone camera right now but I'll try to get pictures up. Jill

Hi Alex!! YAY!!! I am so happy my package made your Monday a little brighter! Yes, Classic Tide Original Scent powder smells amazing!! I find it rinses VERY well, so it might be your Samsung washer. Tide liquids, to me, are very hard to rinse, even in the Miele with massively deep and copious rinses! Somat 10 tabs will clean everything, and they do keep the interior of the machine amazingly clean and shiny. I found with adding STPP to the all tabs, it makes them SUDS like crazy. I find them to clean brilliantly all (lol) by themselves. Cold weather....I have loved it since I was a little kid. I used to cover and block the heater vent in my bedroom, and I just love cold, frigid temps. I am not necessarily a wet weather lover, but I love cold, cold, cold!!!
