Jacque - I am taking photos of my second one, and it's doing exactly the same. I shall post the photos soon, when it flowers, as it's a bit like Jack and the Beanstalk, isn't it. Don't worry - it's perfectly normal. Just move it into a cooler room when it flowers so that they last a bit longer. :-)))

Great ! I will look forward to them. This is the first year for me not to have one for a very long time. I have pics of one I had when I lived in the old cottage. I'll try to find them. It was a bright red flower .

Love Red Flowers :) I almost Purchased a Red Amaryllis from Tesco other wk Hywel as theyd gone down 2 just £2.50!!! i opened the Box to peak @ the Bulb inside & found its growing Tip was broken Off :( That must of been the reason that it was the last 1 on the Shelf ? :/

That's a shame. I have been trying to find my old pics so that I can scan them in. They are in a cupboard and there is so much junk I'll have to look through it lol
