    I bring mine in now from the outside into the warm, water and feed and beg it to do the business. I have never got them to flower for Christmas, but by mid January they normally look splendid.

    Amaryillis is my favorite bulb.I can hardly wait for them to start blooming.
    I had all colors one year .This past year I had pink and white only.I can't figure what happened to the red ,yellow and white ones.I'll get more next year .
