My friends Jewel and R.C. gave me a new amaryllis bulb for Christmas. I had stupidly forgotten to mark my calendar of the correct date for replanting the 2007 bulb, so it didn't get planted until the 2009 bulb. *kicking self* At the same time, I replanted the bulb that Mom had from 2008. There are no signs of life yet from either the 2007 or the 2008 bulb, but it's still early. It will probably be at least 2 or 3 weeks before they pop up, so I'm still keeping my fingers crossed.
In the meantime, I'll post some photos of this year's bulb. It's doing beautifully so far! Here's a picture I took on New Year's Day. The 2007 and 2008 bulb are planted in the large pot behind this year's plant.
Here's a closeup of the top of the plant:
Here's what the same plant looked like last night (January 3):
By this morning, it had opened up even more:
