And one final picture of my beautiful amaryllis. It had three blossoms that were a soft shade of red and almost white streaked. Unfortunately, the blooms were gone before Christmas, which is when the second stem really grew. Now I have a pot with a large V-shaped double stem that isn't very attractive but it will have to just take it's own time for the foliage to die off. I really want that bulb to stay nice and healthy so I can plant it again for Christmas of 2013.
I'm guessing that even a monkey could have gotten it to grow since, when I went into the store closer to Christmas, I saw tons of unsold plants literally growing out of the boxes on the shelf. It appears that the bulbs were going to sprout whether they were planted or not!
