Christmas Amaryllis

My photo today is the Christmas amaryllis in full bloom!  Fabulous! My neighbor bought me (and her) those huge bulbs back on November 17th and I planted mine that day hoping for blooms on 12/25. Not that day, but today the flowers are in full stride and beautiful and I am thankful for that!  Now if I can figure out how to preserve that bulb for next Christmas - oops, I will google it for further information, of course. 

BSoleille!  The bright side of a 2 1/2 foot plant!
