This is the 1st of my bulbs to flower since I brought them home after their "summer holidays" down on the plot!
This, as you can see, is a close up of the flowers that have only fully opened today. :-))

So glad you all liked it! It's a lovely flower & there are still 2 buds on the stem waiting to take the place of the two that are open now.
In less than a week's time I'll have another plant with open flowers! I've still got a bulb on one of our bedroom window sills that may flower in time for Christmas.
I've done nothing to encourage them to bloom! In fact this year for the very first time I'm trying to make them go dormant! They have not had a drop of water in 2 months yet still they are not going dormant! Well, actually, some of them have but not the majority of the 50+ bulbs I have!
