Welcome back amaryllis

Well I am back from my speedy Mexican excursion. It was supposed to be free…but it ended up costing me a pair of glasses. I checked with the insurance companies but there is not protection against stupidity, especially my own…

Remember last winter when I had all these amaryllis flowers that had been stuck in baskets and only one still had the bulb attached to it? At the time I let the flower wilt, then I cut it off and I put the bulb away in the garage. Last week as I was cleaning the gardening paraphernalia, I came upon the bulb and noticed a new stem had formed and was starting to grow. So I put the bulb in a pot, added some dirt and watered it before taking it inside. Guess what was awaiting me when I returned this week?
