My amaryllis is finally blooming - I thought I'd better get a photo quick because I recall the bloom doesn't last too long. Lovely!

That's really pretty - when did you plant your bulb? I think they're supposed to bloom at Christmas too - but I guess that depends on when you planted it. I remember one of my students gave me some paperwhites one year for Christmas and they bloomed in February when we lived in Apex -but the smell was so strong that we had to get them out of the house - hehe... I don't think Amaryllis' have that problem though.

hey - i just planted it right after christmas, so it was pretty quick start-to-finish

i've still got one grandma gave me about 6 years ago. this is the first year that it DIDN'T bloom - all in the same enclosed pot - i didn't touch a thing. this year, it just sent up a single pretty green leaf. i think i'll break into the pot and re-pot it. maybe it will bloom again.

love, k
