I took them out of the box and followed the directions. This is the way they looked when I started them. One was already sprouting out.
This is the way they looked on December 29th. One was growing and one wasn't.
Well, at least one of them is going to bloom. It will look really cool next to my other plants.
Well... New Year's came and went and still no blooms.
On the 8th of January it started to open.
Then the next day!
These were taken on January13th.
Up close of the bloom. This could be a beautiful red texture fabric to use in a quilt.
I think it was worth taking a picture or two or three everyday. Hope you enjoyed the view.
We are suppose to get 7 inches of heavy snow today. It started snowing early this morning. I think I will just stay inside and enjoy the flowers! It's a good day to sew in the dining room and enjoy the view of the snow on the evergreens. Yes, I have to quilt too, but I also need a few Minutes for Me of sewing on the green donation quilt.
Have a wonderful day!
Marcia

How disappointing about the one that isn't blooming, but the one that is looks beautiful! Enjoy your nice warm home while it snows! And enjoy your quilting time.
how lovely. I think I may have to try my black thumb at growing one or those!
It is beautiful. My thumb is completely black.
Did you get snow?
Marcia, You have some truly nice houseplants. The bright red amaryllis is a stunner, and so nice to have that spot of bright color when outside it's all white (or brown).
Hugs, Beth
Isn't it exciting when they finally bloom? Don't give up on the sullen one. It will probably decide to grow soon. None of them act exactly the same. Don't water it to death thinking you'll encourage it, so as not to rot the roots. It won't need much water until it begins to take off. The little green tip is an encouraging sign.
I think amaryllis is one of my favorite bulbs...something so ugly produces something so beautiful!
Thanks for sharing!

Don't give up on the other one. It looks healthy. A friend of mine grows them and says some are . . . late bloomers!
Amaryllis!! I love 'em. Mine, I have several, are outdoor flowers planted in the soil....blooming in the Spring.
Your images and time lapse must have taking weeks to compose. Excellent post.
My post for Monday: LANTANA BLOSSOMS & BERRIES
Too bad it didn't bloom for your mom but she can see the pictures, it's a lovely flower. Don't give up on the other one, it may grow yet.
That is beautiful! Too bad the other one hasn't bloomed.
Congratulations on the beautiful blossom!
Happy MM
So pretty and what a brilliant color. It was fun seeing the progression of your flower.
