Lindsay had been eagerly awaiting the day her white waxed amaryllis bulb with a promised red bloom would come to life. She had envisioned vibrant red petals brightening her space, adding a festive touch to her home.
When the first bud began to unfurl, Lindsay noticed something unexpected—the bloom wasn’t red. It was white. Initially surprised, she wondered how this could have happened. So she reached out to Gardenuity Grow Pro team and learned that the bulbs are harvested at night and while sorting mistakes are rare they could happen due to the delicate processing that takes place during the cool harvesting practice. But as the days went by, she found herself falling in love with the delicate, pure beauty of the white blooms.
“I expected bold red flowers, but these white ones are absolutely stunning,” Lindsay shared. “It’s a perfect reminder of how nature has its own plans, and sometimes the unexpected can be even more beautiful than what we imagined.”
Lindsay’s amaryllis quickly became the centerpiece of her holiday decor, sparking conversations and adding a serene elegance to her home. “I’ve realized that gardening is as much about the surprises as it is about the plans,” she said with a smile.
