Experiment Part Two

 Our experiment with the Amaryllis bulbs continued.

Jen and Far Guy found that the faster you dipped the bulbs in the wax the faster they were coated.


We used painters tape to seal off the tops of the bulb and then Jen spray painted them.  There was a purple one but it went over to Maddie. 

As you can see the red one has growth already. 

It was a fun project. 


We have a bunch of beautiful blooms.

    So, your experiment is working. Now I'm wondering how quickly that growth will become a flower.

    Totally amazing that you can paint the bulbs and they still produce beautiful blossoms. I would think it would be harful to them...but not so.

    Wow! Beautiful blooms in the painted bulbs. I enjoy reading about the interesting things you find to do. And the Lyme Disease...I know what you mean. I still have a scar from my darn tick bite eons ago. They cause a bunch of issues, don't they! I'm so sorry.

    GoodnightGram

    Karen, Nothing. One flopped over one day and the next day it was straight up again. I think if they get too warm they flop over...but that is just a thought.
