I was thinking of you yesterday when pondering what was happening with my Amaryllis. Soon after the first stalk withered, a new one appeared and grew to about 6 inches. Since then, it has grown so slowly. The flower bud is developing, but I really wonder if it will bloom.

Your Amaryllis was stunning … now it is a beautiful foliage plant. I like the pot too!

Good to find you here in the blogosphere . . . . what a great site! We’re going to plant our apple trees, strawberries and raspberries today here in Portland, Oregon. My gardening focus is increasingly on edibles — as part of practicing sustainability. . . . . and also for the joy of raising some food.

Assuming you don’t mind, I’m going to add you to my blogroll. Please come visit if you like: http://alison97215.wordpress.com/.

I’ve repotted it twice and now have four bulbs. Finally, this week one flower stalk is coming up. No flower yet but I have high hopes. However, it has leaves and has always had leaves. They never die down.

I have ‘Sillouette’ which seems to soak up all the juices and nutrients from the flowering stem after the flower dies, leaving a dry husk that crumbles in my hands. We can see and record the progress of the flowers’ death day by day. Do other amaryllis do that? If so, I bet the large flowered ones are even more fascinating.
