These are photos of the Amaryllis I planted a few weeks back from a bulb kit.  You might remember me talking about it.  Thank goodness gardening is not always counted as a complete failure or a complete success.  Because in this case I would say we are walking a line in between the two.

As you can see in the photos the bloom is beautiful; however, what you may not be able to tell is that the bloom is pretty much coming out of the base of the stalk.  Typically with an Amaryllis you have a long stalk and the bloom at the top of that stalk.

I still have some hope that we might get another bloom out of another stalk, but that might be wishful thinking.

Oh well, we have a beautiful flower to enjoy so for me that is success enough.
Have a great week!
