Angie,
I taught art for many years, but juniors and seniors. I always took bulbs in also, and the excitement is the same no matter the age.
Here is an amaryllis that I found hidden away in my closet sometime in early December. It has been there forgotten for who knows how long, at least 2+ years, but look at it today, first day of blooms...I could hardly believe it when it started growing, and it has another bud forming about 2 inches up from the bulb now.
Thanks, Sharon! I just found that the same hyacinth and daffodil bulbs that I pictured in the article have decided it is time to sprout. I didn't think they'd send up shoots until they were watered, but they apparently have their own time table!
Lovely amaryllis in your picture! Goes great with your sofa, too!
