Late Blooming Amaryllis

Around Christmas time I bought two Amaryllis bulbs thinking I would have a nice bunch of flowers .
The first bulb shot-up and bloomed about the right time frame for them !but the second one just didn't do a thing! I almost tossed it thinking it was a dud !
So... imagine my Surprise when it started to shoot up about the last part of March, Wow!! here it is ! I just noticed It has a third flower developing :-)

How in the world did your plants survive the "Big Blow" last week?

Nice surprise. Mine haven't bloomed so will put them outside this summer.

Maybe there's hope for mine. Bought it around Christmas time and it hasn't bloomed yet, but it has very graceful leaves. I'm planning on planting it outside, when it warms up. Maybe I'll have the same luck that Peeka did, getting hers to bloom again.
