Before Christmas, I wrote a post hoping that an amaryllis bulb would bloom in time for me to use in a Christmas day arrangement. It didn't bloom on time and I improvised and used a poinsettia instead. I planted the bulb before Thanksgiving and it bloomed about a week after the new year. Oh, well. With all my waiting did come a big payoff. The one bulb ended up producing two stalks that produced 4 blossoms on each stalk. That one bulb gave me 8 gorgeous blooms! And much to my surprise, the blooms were red instead of pink. I'll share with you what I did with the flowers next week.
