I mentioned in an earlier entry that I have an amaryllis that I was going to pitch out that decided to bloom. I moved it out into the sunlight and started watering it again, and it has grown at a phenomenal rate!
There's a stalk, with a bud at the top, and now two leaves have pushed their way out of the bulb. This morning I measured the stalk and it topped out at about 30 inches. This evening, just out of curiosity, I checked it again, and it's a tad over 31 inches. I think the growth of the stalk is slowing down and we may see the bud begin to develop.
I hope it it one of those gorgeous white flowers with the pink stripes down the center of each petal. Pictures to follow!
