Just Look At This Amaryllis

It’s not quite in bloom yet but look at this monster–my first successful amaryllis re-bloom!

This is the bulb that last bloomed in January 2024. Despite all the helpful literature included with it, I kind of made up what I did: Let the foliage grow for 6 months or so, then stopped watering until the foliage died, then put it in a cold garage for a month or two, then back to the basement and until I noticed the flower spikes, when it came upstairs.

I think the first spike is going to pop any day now–I’ve been watching that calyx open since Monday.
