In bloom

I wish I’d read this guide on amaryllis care earlier. Mine was definitely not planted deeply enough in the soil and now I get the exciting news that after the blooms start to droop you might be able to get new blooms if you cut back the stems! I cut mine back this morning, but that was after it tipped out of the pot twice and after the stems had been drooping for probably a week and a half. Whatever happens, these are terrific flowers and my white one (pictured) has still done remarkably better than another red one I bought from Ikea.
