A few of weeks ago some friends came for dinner and presented me with an amaryllis bulb. Like all bulbs it had the appearance of an onion - rather dry and with a papery covering. I didn't plant it immediately as I seemed to have no time, but now it's been growing for a couple of weeks and it has shot up, pushing out two juicy buds on sturdy stems and looking very healthy. I am keeping my fingers crossed that a) It doesn't 'over do it '; or b) I don't kill it off by neglect or over-indulgence. Let's hope I can post some more on the progress of the amaryllis.
