For several years I’ve purchased amaryllis bulbs from the yahoo plant co-op I’m a member of, potted them up and given them away as holiday gifts. They are really wonderful because they are some unusual varieties that people can’t get at a big box store. Unfortunately, the holidays were a bit of a fire drill this year. You might recall that we were mid-construction (well, mostly we were just irritated because we had planned on being finished in November but were no where close) and didn’t even put up a Christmas tree and well, the box of amaryllis bulbs was forgotten in the basement.
A couple weeks ago I found it and was shocked to find a stem sticking out of the box. I brought the optimistic bulb upstairs and planned to plant it, where it was forgotten again. Well, this bulb was not happy about being forgotten and apparently was determined to shout, “Hey, look at me!”
So that’s how I got this beautiful stalk of flowers, growing out of nothing but a paper bag.
