In other news, my 2 years in my care, Amarylis bulb has flowered again and earlier than last year so I am taking this as a victory. it was still a couple of weeks after Christmas but that is better than the two months it was late last year. Heres hoping next year I can get it to flower on Christmas Day. It was really difficlt to get it to die off. I fed it after floweing and then left it to dry out and die off for June and July but I had to cut the last years growth off it, still green, even afte two months of no water before replanting it. So I need to work harder ad inducing a dormant period this summer.
