UPDATE: March 27th
The plant produced lovely seed pods. I left them, and they began to look dried out. Sure enough, they contain seeds!
She bloomed!
The amaryllis bulb has bloomed!!!! You can tell, by the table setting, that I planted it in December.The directions say to sit it in sun until it blooms, they take it out of the direct sunlight to slow the course of the blooming cycle. Done.
In the final photo, it's falling over in the pot with four blooms, and two or three to come.
I had to tie it to the table!

Gorgeous amaryllis! It has been a few years since I have had one. Must get one next Christmas!
Lovely plant!
Oh it's beautiful. What a day-brightener!
oh it's so pretty and these are so fun to plant!!! i am worried about my paper whites, they are growing wonderfully but we have had very little sun lately!!
Was this one of the wax covered bulbs? And did it need watering? A wonderful way to have them bloom in winter.And to document its growth. I can see a whole row of them next year.
Very pretty!
That is a very nice amaryllis.
All the best Jan
Hello Jenn, what an utter delight to follow the progress of your gorgeous Amaryllis. It looks so beautiful :D)
Well, you're very talented! That's a nice bloom to have at this time of year.
Hi Jenn-
Congrats on the bloom. Your hard work has paid off!
Also very happy to see the colorful snowman in the yard.
Have a Happy Day!
Peace :)
My dad used to grow a single one, but I can't remember around what date. I tried once and failed miserably.
Way back when I was dating a guy, he gave me daffodils forced to bloom early indoors. I'm afraid to try anything at the cabin since it freezes indoors when we leave for extended trips (anything longer than a day this winter especially). - Margy
Beautiful flower, very pretty.
That's gorgeous! I love the color. I miss growing amaryllis now that we're in Hawaii.
