Opening up soon...

looking good.

It certainly looks very healthy Mike.

Gave my friend Jean an amaryllis in Christmas of 2007....she put it out on her deck and forgot about it all summer ...the leaves sprouted then had something go wrong..so she removed the leaves and thought it was a gonner...next thing you know four buds! must take a pic to post it's a lovely snowy white! can't wait to see the red blossoms, Mike!

I used to buy these when my children were small - they use to measure them each day!

The leaves in mine are about a foot tall now and I'm looking forward to the blooms...

These are looking great.
Good luck with blooms for Mike and for Skippy !

It looks great Mike , it has reminded me to go and look at mine in the greenhouse !

Lovely, I am addicted anew. Do you keep as a houseplant? I'm curious if the leaves stay on or if it always rests. All mine from rest have sprouted the flowering stalk first and no leaves. This one looks like it was well developed already. Can't wait to see the blooms.

I keep them as houseplants greenthumb. My second one looks like it's going to be all buds and hardly any leaves. This one had a lot of long leaves first. After the blooms are finished I usually cut of the flower stalks at the base and leave the leaves. Then I start to fertilize once a month. I then put them outside when it's safe out there in filtered sun and continue fertilizing them through the summer. Towards the end of the summer the leaves are usually starting to turn yellow so I cut them off and bring them down to my basement and I let them completely dry out. Around the end of November I bring them back up and start watering them and the cycle begins again.

Thanks so much Mike. I'm trying to establish as houseplants as well, since my winter would kill them anyway. Needed advice. My cold room is getting more and more full...lol.

it is lovley and I like your cactuses beside

Mike! I just got a huge bargain on amaryllus! I found them at A & P for $2.99 each! I bought three... Picotee, Bouquet and Maria Goretti! They're sprouting!!! YAY!
