The unbloomed amaryllis


 So on March 20 the first day of spring I was being overly efficient and decided to cut the spent bloom off my star amaryllis plant, only to realize I also cut off an unbloomed stem!  My only choice was to wait to see if the cut stem could still bloom after I placed it in a vase with water as pictured.  I was mad at myself


So here it is on March 22nd, two days later.  I think it will bloom fully!

  13. Awesome that the second one cut off bloomed for you-Yes some years I will get two stems of blooms-I think when they are younger bulbs they will do that. I just brought mine up from in the basement and put them outdoors to catch the rain
