As of Tuesday, August 6, 2013
© Copyright 2015 Gwinnett Daily Post
This is a big week for golf fans with the last major of the year — the PGA Championship — taking place. With Tiger Woods having won this past weekend, there will be even more of a buzz as the pros prepare to play at Oak Hill Country Club in Rochester, N.Y.
But next month will also feature a big tournament for local golf fans as most of those same big names — including Woods and Phil Mickelson — come to Atlanta to play in the annual TOUR Championship at historic East Lake Golf Club. The tourney — which runs Sept. 19 through 22 — provides a unique perspective with its smaller field and smaller galleries, allowing golf fans to see their favorites up close.
What also makes the tournament unique is its admission policy for veterans. The TOUR Championship provides free admission to all active duty, reserve, military retirees and their dependents for the entire week, and it recently reached out to make sure veterans in Gwinnett are aware of the opportunity.
It's the tour's way of saying thanks for their service.
"We are constantly humbled by the service and sacrifice of the men and women of our nation's military and their families," said Tom Clark, executive director of the TOUR Championship. "We hope that our ticket policies and other events and enhancements show our gratitude and give those who attend our event a day to relax and enjoy some well-deserved R & R."
In addition to the ticketing policy, there will also be special events for the military during the week of the tournament. Two local Atlanta wounded warriors will be treated to a Callaway fitting just like the pros receive — getting a custom set of clubs after touring the Callaway equipment van.
Throughout the tourney, military members and their families can enjoy the Birdies for the Brave outpost on the 16th hole. The Outpost serves complimentary food and beverages to military members, giving them a chance to enjoy the day (or days) even more. On the first day of the tournament there will be opening ceremonies, inlcuding a military band, a jump team and the presenting of the colors.
It's a great chance for local veterans to enjoy themselves and a nice way for the tour to say thank you.
Email Todd Cline at email@example.com. His column appears on Wednesdays.

"Girl Crush" garners big reaction on "The Tonight Show."
Who better to portray sex goddess Mae West in a made-for-TV movie than country music's own Dolly Parton? No one! At least that's what ABC thinks.
The network hasn't confirmed that Dolly will commit, but they do admit that they'd like to see her ...fill the role.
Dolly hasn't done much in the way of acting for a number of years, although he had several hits through the 1980s, including 9 to 5, The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas and Steel Magnolias.

I have had a great experience with PPSEV. I have volunteered for community education events and felt I was really having the opportunity to help people learn about sexual health. The staff at PPSEV has been great in helping me be prepared for the event and wanting to know how my experience with volunteering went. I would highly recommend PPSEV as a great volunteer experience.
The Great!
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
my life. PPSEV has helped me when I needed help most and no one else would.
Ways to make it better...
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
give PPSEV state and federal funding so it can educate more people and provide low cost health care to those in need!

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Crude Oil Terminal's Oil Spill Plan Lacks Adequate Protection and Response
Blog post by Jasmine Zimmer-Stucky, Riverkeeper's Community Organizer—
April 14, 2014. Oregon's only crude oil terminal is taking more heat for their dangerous crude oil terminal on the Columbia River. Riverkeeper and the Northwest Environmental Defense Center (NEDC), as well as farmers who make a living near the oil terminal, agree that the oil company's plan, currently under review by the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ), doesn't go far enough to protect the Columbia River or local water supplies from an oil spill.
Both Riverkeeper and NEDC submitted comments to DEQ about the oil spill plan and criticized the plan's lack of financial assurances for spill response, and the lack of funding for local emergency responders who are underequipped to deal with a crude oil fire, explosion or spill.
"Recent accidents prove that response time is essential to limiting damage from an oil spill," stated Marla Nelson, Legal Fellow for NEDC. "This plan fails to demonstrate that Global is taking the risk of an oil spill seriously."
Farmers near the new crude oil terminal also stand to lose if oil spills into local waterways. Mike Seely, owner of a mint farm near the crude oil terminal, casts a worried eye towards his new neighbor. "I couldn't harvest a marketable mint crop, maybe for years, if there was a major oil spill that impacted our irrigation water," said Seely.
Global Partners LP has a history of flaunting environmental and safety regulations. In March, Oregon DEQ fined the Port Westward crude oil terminal for illegally shipping 250 million gallons of crude in 2013, a violation of its air pollution permit. Global Partners LP applied for a new air emission permit with DEQ that would allow it to expand oil shipment to 1.8 billion gallons annually, or 50 full trains a month. The comment period for this application closes May 5, 2014. Submit your air emission permit comment here! Riverkeeper and NEDC plan to comment on that permit as well. The deadline for comments on the Oil Spill Contingency Plan is May 1, 2014.

DEQ not enforcing safety laws, oil dock critics say

Unpermitted Oil Terminal Seeks DEQ Approval
Blog post by Jasmine Zimmer-Stucky, Riverkeeper's Community Organizer—
March 21, 2014. The oil terminal along the Columbia River at Port Westward has been, and continues, operating outside the law by moving more explosive Bakken crude oil than their current air pollution permit allows. According to the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ), the crude oil company Global Partners (aka "the Columbia Pacific Biorefinery") violated air quality laws by moving nearly six times more crude oil than their permit allows.
Global Partners is now applying for a new permit with DEQ to bring 1.8 billion gallons of oil annually through Columbia County, enough to fill 50 trains per month. Submit a comment about Global's attempt to increase crude oil train traffic. DEQ will be accepting comments through 5:00PM on May 5.
Recent oil spills and train explosions pose serious threats to rail communities. Last year, 47 people were killed in Lac Megantic, Quebec, when a unit train of crude oil, identical to those traveling to Port Westward, from the Bakken region derailed and exploded. Additional derailments and explosions in Alabama and North Dakota of Bakken crude oil trains have raised alarms at local, state and federal levels across the nation, including a moratorium on new crude oil infrastructure in Albany, New York, where Global Partners operates a Bakken crude oil terminal.

Riverkeeper and Allies Team Up to Tell DEQ to Reject Oregon LNG Air and Water Permits
On Tuesday, November 12th, over 80 people from Astoria, Warrenton, Forest Grove, Yamhill, and Washington state urged Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) to use its authority to reject the Oregon LNG project. We sent a clear message to DEQ: Oregonians and Washingtonians oppose Oregon LNG and the pollution it would create. Attendees asked pointed questions about how DEQ can use its authority to protect water quality, salmon habitat, and air quality in its review of the proposed Oregon LNG export terminal. The hearing occurred only weeks after Clatsop County Commissioners voted unanimously to reject the Oregon LNG pipeline. Oregon LNG cannot build its proposed LNG export terminal without air and water pollution permits and DEQ has the authority to deny them.
Check out Riverkeeper's letter to DEQ on Oregon LNG's proposed water pollution permit.
Oregon LNG's Proposed Pollution Permits
- Stormwater Pollution Permit: This permit would authorize Oregon LNG to discharge dirty stormwater to the Columbia and Skipanon Rivers while building the terminal.
- Process Wastewater Permit: This permit would allow Oregon LNG to discharge millions of gallons of polluted water and stormwater every day of the year. This includes hot water, ammonia, copper and other toxic pollutants.
- Air Pollution Permit: This permit would give the green light for air pollution from compressors, vaporizers, ships, harbor tugs, support vehicles, gas-turbines, construction dust and a number of other sources. LNG tankers and the security vessels that accompany them are required to run their engines during the entire cargo loading cycle, spewing exhaust and air.
People's Hearing Preferred Over DEQ's Narrow Scope on Coal Export
As the marathon 12 hour hearing on Australian-owned Ambre Energy's Morrow Pacific coal export project came to a close on July 9th, hundreds of citizens converged outside the Oregon Convention Center in Portland for a People's Hearing and rally. That day, inside the Convention Center, the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) provided two rooms for the public to testify. The room's capacity was limited so only a handful of observers could enter and hear citizen testimony. Speaking slots were filled via online sign ups and a very small number of 'walk-ins' were accepted.
The resounding testimonial both inside the Convention Center and outside at the People's Hearing was that DEQ has the power to fully study the impacts of the proposed Morrow Pacific coal export project. Yet, DEQ is choosing to limit the scope of their review to just the Port of Morrow. This approach does not serve Oregonians. DEQ must fully analyze all impacts of this controversial coal export project and deny the permits.
DEQ can protect Oregon from coal export and ask them to do it today! The comment period for the first permits for coal export ends August 12, 2013.
Throughout the day and into the People's Hearing, photo petitions opposing coal export were posted to Oregon Governor Kitzhaber's Twitter account and phone calls were made to his citizen hotline.
The DEQ hearing in eastern Oregon regarding the Morrow Pacific project was also held on July 9th for a 12 hour duration in the town of Hermiston. This hearing drew project opponents from near and far. Residents of eastern Washington and Idaho traveled to Hermiston to inform DEQ about the broad impacts of the Morrow Pacific project. For these residents, the coal export project would bring up to five coal trains per day rumbling through their cities.
Tell DEQ to stop dirty coal – deny the permits!

DEQ: Protect Oregon from Dirty Coal Export!
The Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) is recklessly moving towards permitting the first coal export terminal in the Northwest at the Port of Morrow in Boardman, Oregon.
DEQ has opened a public comment period on draft air quality permits for the controversial Morrow Pacific coal export project proposed by Ambre Energy. The comment period runs through August 12th.
(1) Sign the Petition
Tell DEQ to use their authority to protect Oregon from dirty coal export by signing this petition.
(2) Attend a Public Hearing + Portland Rally
Public hearings will be held on July 9 from 8AM-8PM in both Portland and Hermiston, Oregon. Click here for details about the public hearings. And, DEQ is requiring those that want to testify at a hearing to register beforehand – REGISTER NOW!
There will be a rally in Portland outside the hearing at 5:30PM – please wear red to the rally!
Click here for Riverkeeper's suggested talking points & questions for DEQ
Ambre Energy's proposed Morrow Pacific coal export terminal would result in coal dust and diesel emissions that would likely exceed National Ambient Air Quality Standards and worsen pollution in the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area, where air quality is currently suffering from air pollution. The proposal would result in doubling barge traffic on the Columbia River, harming salmon, river recreation and navigation. Due to concerns over these likely impacts, local governments, tribes, federal agencies and elected officials, including Congressmen Earl Blumenauer and Peter DeFazio, have called for the preparation of an Environmental Impact Statement on the project.

Everyone Deserves Toxic-Free Fish
It's time to end the era of weak toxic pollution laws in Washington State
Washington State has a dirty little secret: The weakest toxic water pollution laws in the nation. This is shocking considering how many people rely on fish and shellfish to feed their families and for their livelihoods. Together, we can end this era of putting industry interests before public health. In March 2015, thousands of people joined Columbia Riverkeeper, tribes, businesses, and many others in calling on the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Washington Department of Ecology (Ecology) to stand up for public health.
The Facts
- People in Washington State—particularly Native Americans, immigrants, and sportfishers—eat a lot of fish. Yet the laws that are supposed to protect people from toxics in fish, known as water quality standards, assume that people only eat the equivalent of 6.5 grams of fish per day. This is less than a cracker-sized amount of fish. By comparison, the State of Oregon adopted a fish consumption rate of 175 grams per day in 2010.
- Study after study backs up what seems obvious to people who use our rivers: Washingtonians are eating significantly more fish than the state's laws assume.
- Simply put, if a state has weak water quality standards for toxic pollution, polluters can discharge more toxic pollution, including cancer-causing toxic pollutants and pollutants that harm development in young children and fetuses.
- The proposal put forth by Governor Inslee and Ecology changes the fish consumption rate. But the proposal also raises the allowable cancer risk tenfold statewide, from one in one million to one in 100,000, so the end result remains largely the same. If this draft proposal is approved, it will leave Washington fish consumers without adequate protection and allow the continued discharge of many potent neurotoxins and cancer-causing pollutants, including mercury and PCBs.
Ecology's proposed rules include pollution loopholes and ignore the best available science. Join Columbia Riverkeeper in sending a strong message to EPA and Ecology: EPA must step in and protect public health if Ecology fails to go back to the drawing board and develop water quality protection laws that protect public health.

In these past few months, God has been teaching me a lot. I've learned that when you fully surrender everything, taking delight in the Lord, He will give you what you what, the desires of your heart.
My favorite and most evident verse in my life right now is Psalm 37:4 – "Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart." I really like the way that this one is worded…
God has really been showing me that this verse is ever so true. Surrendering everything to God is really comforting knowing that He has a plan for your life and He is in control. (Jeremiah 29:11 – "For I know the plans I have for you", declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future.")
A quote I like to remind myself of is "We must be willing to let go of the life we have planned, so as to have the life that is waiting for us" – Joseph Campbell. It is not easy to surrender yourself and everything about you, but I promise, it is worth it.
You have to trust that God will be with you and guide you and take control of your life. Trust in the Lord with all your heart – Proverbs 3:5. Surrender is a word with a huge meaning that needs to be taken seriously. "Don't ask God to guide your steps if you're not willing to move your feet." This quote has a lot of meaning behind it.
When you ask God to guide you, you have to be willing to give Him everything. You can't say, "God, I want you to have control over where I go to college, but I don't think I can give you control over this boy I like".
I decided to give up Facebook and Twitter for February, March, and April because I find myself on them when I could be doing much better things. This has to do with surrender, also. Giving up those social medias to spend more time in my community and working to strengthen and grow my relationship with God.
Focusing on these things will remind me what is really important in my life, instead of just being on the internet. Although, I will get on to update you about Mission Year related things, such as blogs, donating, and just updates! I just didn't want it to be taking up all my time, like it did.
The above has been some big things going on in my life the past few months. I have to trust that God knows what He is doing with my life.
Last night, I was talking with a friend about how much I have grown since we met. She said "You've already come this far in the past 4 months, imagine what will happen in the next 4 months".
People that I see daily here in Philadelphia and friends and family back home tell me about how much I've grown since I've been in Mission Year. Growth in the way of my personality and with God. I also believe I have grown a lot, stepping out of my comfort zone and working on being fearless.
I've learned a lot from God about myself, too. He has taught me that I'm a lot stronger than I hold myself to. I can be a pretty negative person towards myself and degrade myself, but I've been learning that when I talk negative about myself, I start to believe it; but deep down I know that what I'm saying about myself isn't true.
"No one has the right to make you feel worthless, not even you." I've been working on being a more positive person, just in general, and showing love to everyone. There are times when I do slip, but then God reminds me to show love.
Right now, in my life, is the closest I've ever been to God and it is awesome just seeing His good works and how He is working in my life. He must become greater; I must become less – John 3:30
Another verse that is big in my life is Proverbs 4:23 – Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life.
That is pretty much all I can think of at the moment, and I will work on updating my blog more to keep you up to date with my life!

Fall San Marcos Swap?
hey central Texas gang - has anyone seen posts or started planning for the annual fall swap in San Marcos? I was thinking I need to get some cuttings started. What does everyone plan to bring? Who wants to reserve the pavillion at the park?
Cheers, Lindsey
So they buried it in the Exchange page! Those iVillage people are quick! Spike would have left it on the main page a while. I haven't heard anything about a San Marcos swap, so am wondering if noone is arranging it. I'm still hoping for a San Antonio swap...someone offered a site for one...but will go to San Marcos if one is going to happen.
Please keep me in the loop. I will be happy to chip in my fair share of any rental charges once we get an idea of who/how many are planning on attending.
Sorry for not keeping up around here this year, real life has a way of encroaching at times.
The pavilion at Rio Vista Park in San Marcos is officially reserved for Saturday October 22. A Big Thanks to Diana for getting the resident discount. Also, thanks to Linda and Lauren for helping too.
Keep looking here for Updates and the Map as the swap gets closer.
Hey gang,
we have a great set of info that Teri put together last spring that gives all the info about the swap and that will appear here in the near future, but to answer your immediate questions, the swap usually starts at 9am sharp and we usually do doorprizes and a potluck lunch around noon. It's usually all over by 1:30 or 2 depending on weather and how many people come. As for what to bring, the options are wide open. Plants of course, either divisions of your perrenials, or cuttings you started or seeds you collected and labeled. Sometimes people bring whole plants they decided they didn't like anymore or didn't have room for. Also, if making new plants is not your thing, you can bring gardening related items, books, terra cotta pots, tools, etc... People are generally very generous and eager to manke newbies feel welcome so there are no hard and fast rules about what you can bring. Also, most gardeners just don't want to take any of their own stuff back home so they are often not expecting a "even trade".
There is also a list of things you may find useful to bring:
camp chair or stool
card table (there are a limited number of pavillion tables)
extra plant labels and marker
extra plastic pots - usually someone needs these
plastic bags for transporting goodies
plastic nursery trays for transporting goodies
Drinking water
rain jacket (for some reason our swap usually causes a shower!)
Hope that helps and stay tuned for more info.
Thanks for the information, I also have been hoping for a San Antonio swap. I will try and be there. I need to get started on my cuttings, the last batch fried. Today was 104.
Just got a call from Randolph Door Company in Corpus Christi, the doors that we ordered almost 2 months ago, will be in on the 18th, and they will install them on either Oct 21, or Oct 22. I will need to be in Rockport, so I will not be able to go to the plant swap. I would be willing to help if someone wants to get a plant swap started for San Antonio for in the spring, that way we have more time to get one organized, and the plants have more time to get established.
I'm a newbie, and hope to make the plant swap this year but we will have relatives in town. Let me know if any of these appeal to you, or if you have any in return. That will let me know if I should try to come or not (although Lindsey DID offer to help me!)
Plants I'm looking for:
Black-eyed Susans
Gaillardia (prefer burgandy)
Carolina Jessamine
Ruellia - Katie, purple
Pride of Barbados
Typical purple/yellow iris (drought-tolerant kind, not Louisiana type)
Seeds I'm looking for:
Mexican sunflower
Zinnia (all kinds)
Sunflowers (all kinds, prefer a mix of warm tones)
Plants/seeds I have to trade:
Calla lilies (bulbs)
Esperanza (4" pots)
Maybe a few small trees (crabapple, washington hawthorne)
Mexican poinciana (will dig up if anyone wants them - I have 2)
Other misc seeds (sherlock, triplet lilies, windflower)
Plants I'm probably bringing:
Big Red Sage
Mexican Honeysuckle
Flame Acanthus
Gold Columbine
White Mistflower
Inland Sea Oats
Pineapple Sage
Cedar Sage
And does anyone have any extra Spider Lily bulbs (preferably red)that they could spare? I could use some pots, either gallon size or a bit smaller (not 4"). I have plenty of 4" pots if anyone needs any.
Oct 22 is a week away.
Looking diligently here for directions. I can find San Marcos--no problem. There are about three logical places for a "Pavillion" to be but ya got me on which one you folks are going to bring all those fantastic plants to.
Can anyone send me ( a newbie here --March 2005) via email or maybe post in here??
I'll bring some vinca cuttings and some others if they get better looking--been a hot summer here in River Chase.
My goodness! I didn't realize noone had posted the directions for the park. I found these from a previous swap we had there:
Rio Vista Park is just west of I-35 bordered by Riverside Dr. on the north and CM Allen Parkway on the south. The park address is 555 Cheatham Street, which connects Riverside and CM Allen Parkway. Reynolds Street is a spur street off of Cheatham going west into the park. Pavilion B is across Reynolds Street from the pool area.
I'd suggest getting directions also from a site like Mapquest so you won't get lost (easy to do, believe me).
Recent developments on the home front have forced me to change plans for the swap date in question so I won't be able to attend after all.
I really do hate to miss it but this is just another case of life stepping in and changing the best-laid plans. I guess that's what I get for planning something so far in advance.
I hope everyone has a good time and gets the plants, seeds or cuttings they are seeking. Maybe I will be able to make the spring one, but this time I won't be planning on it as heavily.
Just finding out about this...I'm a newbie.
I would be up for an impromptu SA swap sometime soon OR in the spring (which would give me a chance to actually get a few plants etc properly gathered together)
I look forward to meeting some of you but can't make the 22nd.
Hi swap friends!
I found some of the info Teri posted from our spring swap which still applies this time around:
San Marcos, Rio Vista Park, Pavilion B. It's near the restrooms.
Here are some directions, and below that is a website for San Marcos, where you may find more information on the park. Rio Vista Park is just west of I-35 bordered by Riverside Dr. on the north and CM Allen Parkway on the south. The park address is 555 Cheatham Street, which connects Riverside and CM Allen Parkway. Reynolds Street is a spur street off of Cheatham going west into the park. Pavilion B is across Reynolds Street from the pool area.
We will again have a potluck lunch if you can bring something you make or get from the store.
We will also have door prizes if anyone would like to make or donate an item for the drawings.
If I've left anything out don't hesitate to post your questions!
It looks like the weather is going to be really nice on Saturday for the swap. I have the paper goods for the potluck lunch. Does anyone want to volunteer to bring an ice chest and ice?
For all of you lurkers and newbies don't be afraid to come, you will have a great time!
I know several of the regular group are going to come and bring some great plants.
Teri, Maddalfred and honeybunny2 you will be missed.
Hey, I can bring a cooler and ice. I'll also bring the stuff for the doorprize drawings (paper, pens, jar) so don't forget to bring items to contribute towards the doorprize.
Oh and a few bucks - don't know if we made that clear in earlier posts that we need to repay the person kind enough to float our group reservation at the pavillion so plase plan to bring a few bucks to contribute.
Something ate about half my cuttings this week, but my determination cannot be crushed! I'll see everyone on saturday!
I know I'm late responding to this thread, but I had a great time at the swap and wish to thank everyone who participated and helped put it together (especially Charlotte)! We didn't have a huge crowd, but it was still interesting, educational and exciting for me!
I am relatively new to this site and I am very pleased to have found it. I have done several trades and am happy witht them so far. I was glad to hear that swap meets are actually done in areas to allow members to meet and trade/sell. I am in San Antonio and of course would like to have one scheduled for the spring. I wouldn't even mind helping a veteran coordinate it. I was sorry I missed the San Marcos one as it sounded like a very organized one and it seemed people were very interested and very ready for it. I think it would be such fun so if anyone either hears of a swap planned for San Antonio in the spring or would like some help getting it together, I would love to help.

Frank Adams (artist)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Frank Adams (1914 – 1987) was an American artist. Starting as an engineering draftsman during World War II, he was known for book illustrations, cartoons, and paintings. ([1]).
Adams is noted for "The Home Front" first published in 1944. The book is filled with cartoons capturing the can-do spirit of men and women often working side by side for the war effort—welding, riviting, riding around on fork lifts.

Amaryllis question
I bought several Amaryllis bulbs in boxes and planted them in the pots provided. But i notice that the pots do not have holes in the bottom. Should i repot in a pot with drain holes or leave them as is? Or make holes in these pots?
..no holes
The bulb producers do not have any interest that their bulbs might survive and thus potentielly be shortening their future profits.
The amaryllis-ready-to-use-kit-makers lack any knowledge of the plant's demand OR... they are instructed by the bulb producers to mix this funny amaryllis-killing-tool together.
This joke of hole-less little pot is sometimes still Topped by the useless chips- or bark-like substrate which is added in insufficient quantity and which in some cases seems directly to have come out directly of a dirt shredder
Do not buy cats in a sack and do not buy invisibly packed bulbs.
I have to disagree. I grow them every year in those little pots with NO holes provided with the bulb. All that means is you will need to water carefully as instructed. A pot with no holes will not require a saucer and will not make a wet spot on the woodwork. After the bloom is over I remove the flower stem and the pot and plant in the garden. Al
I have to disagree.
A long term (continued) cultivation in these small pots without holes will yield inferior, unsatisfying results.
On the other hand, result like the following
(clickable th_images)
href> href> href>
and finally ...
href> href>
are not possible using pots without drainage holes.
And - guess- how strange the world is: I use exactly these holes in order to apply water, from below, thus imitating favourable natural environmental conditions: The steady water supply, for the roots, from the ground water...
For good reasons all the pots designed to carry plants I find in the local garden centers are exclusively hole-ly *ggg* so what...*g*
I even bother myself for the sake of the plants and drill numerous additional holes (diameter = 5 mm) into the ground plate of boxes which appear to have insufficient. The deformed 50 cm x 18 cm box above has at least 30 of these extra-holes.
Usually, when there are no drainage holes there is actually a garden pot inside the decorative pot, and there are drainage holes in the inner pot. When you got to repot them, you realize that there are actually two pieces, but they don't come apart easily. The excess water collects inside the two pieces, which is not a good idea. See if yours is actually a two piece pot. If so, you can just remove the decorative pot. Good drainage is key.
I want to grow some amarylis indoors this winter, but I have 2 curious cats. Does anyone know if they are poisonous to cats? I don't have real pointsettias because of my cats, so I'd like to have some nice red amayrlis. If anyone knows, please let me know, I don't want my babies to get sick.
My sweet neighbor gave me a red Amaryllis in a little green plastic pot. Didn't occur to me that the thing didn't have holes until I noticed the bulb sort of floating! I flipped it out of that pot and into a normal pot with holes. It is blooming like mad and so gorgeous, but the bulb is really wrinkled and leathery looking.
Too bad this thread wasn't here on October 19th when she gave me the plant. Never had a clue...
Hans-Werner ~ your photos make me green with envy!
Oh thank you for the compliment,
Now keep your plant in a bright place at your best window and make it consolidate and expand by carefull watering from the bottom and regular fertilizing.
If you are suspicious that the actual substrate might not be perfect then do not hesitate and replant the bulb into coco peat.
Knight star lilies are not really difficult and they do not need sophisticated bulb treatments as I often read of.
And... their appearance is simply a reflection of the previous long-term husbandry.

Liebe Gruesse
Hi yesimarose:
I've posted this response elsewhere and am modifying it very briefly - mostly due to the time factor - lots of stuff to plant - I am still working out in the garden planting some last minute items, I decided to take a short "coffee break" ;>) - mostly to warm up a bit - and saw your posting.
If you've planted your Amaryllis, unpot it, and buy a far bigger pot and re-pot it - as soon as possible - per the recommended suggestions discussed below.
I've grown these bulbs for a number of years and one of the "tricks" is to place them in a much larger pot than is usually recommended. Currently, I have a Amaryllis bulb planted in a 16 inch diamter pot and it is doing very, very well. If fact, it has three "kids" growing around the mother bulb.
Many years ago, when I went to repot one of my bulbs and noted that the roots of these bulbs were comparatively large and I came to the conclusion that the usually recommended procedure of the "forcing" i.e. planting - of these bulbs in pots that are just an inch or two larger than the diameter of the bulb is FALSE - mainly because there is insufficient room for root growth and equally insufficient room for the take up of nutrients let alone enough room for good nourishment. In short, there seems to be no logic to place these bulbs in a 'straight-jacket' and expect them to grow in stature or longevity.
No human being can "grow" under such straight-jacket conditions, so why should we come to believe that the same method should be more than 'suitable' for plants. Doesn't make any sense.
Consequently, I repotted my bulbs in much larger pots 12 - 16 inches minimum. Of course, I trimmed the roots and got rid of much of the 'old' soil and gave the bulb a nice new home of good potting soil. I would highly recommend that you pot your Amaryllis in a good sized 14 or 16 inch pot with some depth to it.
One of the consequences of this development was the magnificant array of blooms that I experienced in their third year of growth. Not only did the bulb grow larger, but the mother bulb gave 'birth' to several 'kids' so that I ended up with three or four or more stalks all full of bloom one Christmas. Lovely - absolutely lovely. I had two stalks coming off of the mother bulb.
One of the responses to your posting has given you photographic evidence of this occurrence. When this number of bulbs are in bloom, they are a joy to experience.
I did repot my current bulb in the fall of last year into a 16 inch pot, because I had one 'kid' who was making it's appearance. We have a horticultural program where I work and I donated the 'kid' to the program and it was potted up in a nice large pot. Sure enough, the 'kid' came into bloom this spring.
Another source for my idea and inspiration was the story I was told about one of the former employees working at Kelly's Seed & Hardware in Peoria, IL. This employee - of German heritage - planted his Amaryllis bulbs outside in the late spring and early summer in a very deeply prepared and in a very loose soil structure. He fertilized and watered them on a regular basis and ended up with Soccer sized Amaryllis bulbs in the late fall.
I would have loved to see his bulbs and talked with him about how he accomplished this, but I do think that planting these bulbs in far larger pots than usually recommended is very beneficial (and equally enjoyable).
With regard to a suggested soil mixture, I would purchase a very good, loose, humusy soil mixture or make one up myself with good potting soil, some perlite, some aged cow manure, and some sphagnum peat moss and then give the bulb and soil a very good soaking of 1/2 strength fertilizer and then let it rest for a bit and then water it until water drains out of the bottom. Some time later, you can then give it another good soaking with 1/2 strength fertilizer and from then give some watering when needed. And repeat the process of fertilzing, then watering as needed, i.e. let the top few inches of the soil dry out and use your finger as a "tester".
Hope this information becomes more than inspirational in your Amaryllis growing efforts.
Hi Yesimarose! I have a very strong feeling that u and I bought our Amaryllis kit from the same source. I really found that very odd that the green pot provided had no holes in it. The coco peat "thing" was cool though. I put holes in the pot using the circle marks at the bottom as my guide. As u can see, there are two sets of these circle markings, some on the very bottom and some on the slightly elevated part of the bottom. Try to put holes on both parts. In my opinion these holes would serve two different purposes. After i planted my Amaryllis I bottom water it with warm water, just like how Hans have been suggesting. The water will be absorbed through the very bottom holes. After like 5-10 minutes, I throw away the excess water that was not taken up. The slightly elevated holes would serve like an aeration thing providing air to the roots which is necessary for good root growth and preventing root rot. Hey I bought 4 different varieties of this Amaryllis kit and they are all ready to bloom now. I would like to take this oppurtunity to thank Hans-Werner too who I think has been so unselfish sharing his growing techniques to us.
Wie Geht's?
Well, I don't wish to venture any further with my fading knowledge of High School and College "Gemman" clases, but I thought I'd give you a two "thumbs-up" in regard to the information you have provided and the photographs!
I particularly enjoyed your statements in your first posting:
"The bulb producers do not have any interest that their bulbs might survive and thus potentielly be shortening their future profits."
As well as:
"The amaryllis-ready-to-use-kit-makers lack any knowledge of the plant's demand OR... they are instructed by the bulb producers to mix this funny amaryllis-killing-tool together."
How very true; somewhat reminds me of the chapter on the sales effort in a book by Baran and Sweezy that I read so many decades ago.
Also, loved your added "laugh" feature!
FYI - I top water my bulbs, allow them to drain before putting the pot back into the saucer, and then let them dry out - sometimes from benign neglect - and then give them a another drink. I choose this alternative, because I work in one part of the State of Michigan and live in another (home) on the weekends, holidays, vacation, etc. So I don't always have the time to do the preferred method.
Thanks again for helping people out with your excellent information and photographs.
Yes, Amaryllis is poisonous to cats. See this page for a list of plants from the ASPCA:
Here is a link that might be useful: Poisonous Plants & Cats
I am a neophyte gardener! I purchased a substantial of those ready-to-use kits recently. Those that I planted in the supplied hole-less pots got root rot due to my inexperienced over-watering. The others which I planted in my own pots which happened to have holes are doing fine.
My question is this. Having removed all rotted roots, even to the point of scraping the bottom of some of the bulbs, and repotted, will the amaryllis survive? Some lost half their roots and others all except one or two roots left.
Even for a neophyte indoor gardener, the stupidity of providing a pot w/out hole is obvious after this one experience.
Thanks for any ones advice. The pictures are spectacular.
In defense of al, who truly does know his stuff, let me just add my two cents worth and say that the ROOTS can grow in standing water, but the BULB should not be in standing water. Ever grow your amaryllis in one of those "bulb vases"? They are narrow in the middle, so that the bulb stays high and dry in the vase, while water and roots go down into the bottom.
Chazn, it's unlikely that your bulb will survive, but not impossible. It basically depends on how far into the bulb the rot has penetrated. If only the roots rotted, it may pull through. But, you have absolutely nothing to lose. Try it and see. Most horticultural knowledge is obtained by experimentation.
Maybe because I spent my earning life in retail sales, I understand the buying public. The pots and the plant are intended to be discarded when through blooming. The seller does not put holes in the pot,not to save him any money, but to prevent damaging the surface on which the buyer sets the pot. Because I live in an area where Amaryllis grow very well year around in the garden, mine are removed from their tiny pot when planted in the garden and their roots, while curled up, are in fine condition. These are sold to be given away as Christmas presents, and in fact all of mine were received as presents. In my garden they bloom the last part of May and also make new bulbs which I remove and pot up. Al
AMARYLLIS CAN KILL A CAT. Do not put an amaryllis within a cat's reach, ever.
For the record, poinsettias are not toxic. Cats may vomit if they eat a lot, but it won't hurt them.
I had a cat who brushed against a stargazer lily and then licked the pollen off her fur. She almost died - they had to force charcoal down her throat and put her on fluids to dilute the poison. She pulled through, but a couple years later died of kidney failure. I suspect the kidneys were damaged from the lily toxin.
Be very careful with any plant around your pets.
Here is a link that might be useful: Toxic Plants
ladychroe, thanks for the tip. I have amaryllis all around the outside of my house and my cats go where they please with no problems. I have never seen anyone of them brush against the pollen but then the flowers are too tall for them. Again Thanks as I do love my friends-cats.

I usually try to avoid staying at Super 8 when I'm on business but I didn't have a choice on this trip. However, I was pleasantly surprised by this one. It's relatively new and well maintained. If you have to be in Algona and the Americinn is unavailable, this Super 8 is well worth the trip to Emmetsburg.

Recommendations for 'low maintenance' in Booth Bay
As a gift to good friends who live right on the water at Booth Bay, I was going to clean up and organize and plant in an old rock garden they have next to their home.
Like Maine - it is a large ledge of rock with assorted boulders and old, dead, or weeded plantings. It gets early am shade and then sun till about 1 or 2:00 pm. It needs a lot of cleaning, but I would like to start thinking about what would be good to plant. Also, I need "no maintenance," as this is a second home and they are not there to water - other than rain or whatever run off they get from above (not much).
Thank you for your help
Sedums are always the first thing that come to mind or other succulents. Many sedums don't need lots of sun either. S. kamschatakum (spelling varies from ref. to ref. and mine may be off from all others) especially does not like full sun for long - at least not in Okla.'s heat. S. alba might work; also S. lineare variegatum (which isn't the fast spreader that the all green one is). Nice of you to do; hope it goes well. Sharon in OK
