I planted this amaryllis bulb in early December hoping to have a bloom by Christmas...
...at Christmas it was still completely dormant...
...after the New Year I nearly threw it out...
...I was sure it was a dud...
...in the middle of January it finally sent out a shoot with a bud...
...altho I have had prettier, more spectacular amaryllis...
...I have probably enjoyed this one the most...
...I certainly have had a lot of fun photographing its progress...
...it is just starting to fade now...
