Hehe, that's not a leaf...it's the tip of a bud. The notch gives it away...!!! Likely a red flower coming soon!

Thanks Kristi! I was so excited to buy my Amaryllis bulb and was so worried today when it turned red. I actually dug it back up and put it in a pot to keep inside just to keep it safe. =)
I am from South Carolina...I think a zone 7. Where are you living?
My mom gave me an Amaryllis a couple of years ago. It bloomed the first year and was gorgeous! It didn't bloom this year tho. I kept it inside both years.
So is my Amaryllis okay????

Probably fine. What color will yours be? These will always grow bigger in the ground, but I don't know if you might have to lift it during the winter.

I just flew home from Charleston on Monday. I live in Spring, TX.

It will be a very pretty pink. I might let it flower in the pot this year and then plant it in the ground next year.

Oh I LOVE Charleston! It is only 3 hours from where I live. =) What all did you do there?

Check your email....for chat.

We are supposed to get cold again! I don't know what zone you are in, but during the winter do you get really cold? Hope your bulbs can overwinter with mulch and you won't have to pull them up.
