During the Christmas shopping, two of my daughters (Brenda and Karen) and I found some Amaryllis Bulbs on sale at Target for $7! Of course, none of us could pass this up. This was one of my Mother's favorite gifts at Christmas time and she nearly always received one as a gift. Her favorite was the red one, so that is what I bought for myself. My Mom loved to watch it grow. I have this idea that I will measure it's growth to see how fast it grows until it is in full bloom.
I have had it in the pot for a few days, and day before yesterday I decided to start measuring it. (It was already trying to burst out of the bulb when I finally took the time to put it into the pot.)
I am going to put it on my side bar at least weekly to let you see how fast it grows! I love it!
Day before yesterday, (12/28) my first measurement was 4 1/4 inches. Today, 5 inches!

They simply amaze me at how quickly they grow. I just put last years bulb in the pot two weeks ago and it is already over a foot tall. I love them too. Thank heavens all plants don't grow so fast.
O.K. Mom-- Where's mine???? Love ya!
I love this idea! I should go get one. But I don't have a very green thumb. But I'd like to try.
My mother in love also loves these flowers. She got one this year and it was beautiful. Looking forward to watching yours bloom :-)
Oh I got one too. I love the. I read you 2 previous posts and so happy for you to get your table. I love the greens in that top quilt. That would be my favorite. Blessings

I think you have a head start with that big bulb! Im excited to watch and see how fast it grows! Love from your other daughter, Brenda
I always loved these too. My 3 cats won't leave houseplants alone so this way I get to enjoy yours! Happy New Year dear friend.
Those bulbs are marvelous...and they grow like weeds!! ;o)
I just LOVE those plants! I have a friend that just has the magic touch with them and they are enormous and gorgeous every year! I must get one and hope that I have half the luck that she does! :o)
Happy New Year!
They do jump don't they!! Love it!!
I did not do any bulbs this year and miss them.
May have to go see if Lowe's has any leftovers still out..;-)
Now you can plant them in the flower beds too and they will come back every year...just lose color a bit. Mine are by my front steps and I love seeing them every year.
Happy New Year!!

Golly, how I love these plants. I used to have many. They are simply fascinating.
Happy New Year. May your days be blessed & beautiful throughout the year.

Oh, I love them too. Mine isn't growing very fast. It is very short and 2 flowers are beginning to open. Well, maybe this year I won't have to prop it up and worry that it will topple over!
The flower is so spectacular and really appreciated during our gray winter days!
