Amaryllis 1st flower bud Very close up 19-02-2011

I bought 4 last year, all over wintered dry in the conservatory, still waiting for them to show signs of a bud. They were all reduced in a sale & flowered really well. Never really managed to get them to re-flower so fingers crossed.

Thanks Bampy. I hope your bulbs flower soon. They are as easy as Daffs to get to flower every year! Just treat them like Daffs & let the leaves grow till they go yellow (quite a bit longer than Daffs I'm afraid!), then let the bulb rest & leave it in its pot or take it out & dry it & put it in a cool, frost free place till the end of winter than pot it up again & put it in a warm, light place. It will start to flower again after a few weeks.

The first flowers this year are just about to open. Perhaps tomorrow but certainly the day after!
