I've never tried to grow an amaryllis before, but now we have two of them, both gifts from visiting friends. This one is beginning as a bulb, while the other one began with a few stalks already coming up. We now know what to expect, and are waiting hopefully for this one to show some signs of life. It should have done something by now In the meantime, it's a very cooperative portrait poser!

I have one with shoots at the moment! Such exciting plants to grow. Maybe I should join you and picture mine tomorrow and keep an eye on progress! I did laugh at it being a good cooperative poser 🤣😂
@casablanca Great idea! I'm worried this one isn't going to grow at all, as the directions said 2 weeks and that was on Dec 11th. But the other one is amazing!
A great bulb - sometimes it takes them some time to stir from their sleep !! I had one given as a gift on my birthday (5th December ) and on Christmas day there was a show of the new bud developing - Shall post it one of these days !
@taffy -- It's my attempt to stay committed to photography when I haven't picked up my camera since you last saw me. I found that I had never processed all the FLW photos from my summer with all my guests. I still have that membership so we need to go to more places!
This will be an interesting project Taffy. I had to Google "Amaryllis' and then found them to be very similar to things we call "Hippeastrum" - Googled them - they are the same! It's fascinating how names change in different parts of the world. It will be exciting to see what colour you have here. :)
