Here is an amaryllis I so abused. I bought them last fall from Van Engelen. I put in a big order every year. Well this last year I never planted them for some lazy reason. Many bloomed in the boxes, all dwarfed and deformed. The bulbs shrank.

About a month ago I opened the boxes and tried to save the viable ones. I planted them in my yard and all immediately start to grow. And I have buds!!! I am so amazed at them. I have to look up what this one's name is. It is the best red I have ever seen. I will be making my yearly order soon and will get a bunch to pot up for Christmas. Takes a licking but keeps on ticking.

When my husband saw it he ran in to get me, he was so excited which is so unusual for hate plants Tom. LOL It has 5 blooms on it too.
