Every November I buy several amaryllis bulbs and plant them at intervals, so as the bloom on one withers, another is just opening up. The last bulb I planted sat in the pot for weeks, seemingly with no intention of giving me the pleasure of watching it grow. I deemed it a dud, but never got around to tossing it out. Sometimes it pays to procrastinate. Suddenly the stem started to grow, and grow, and grow. When it reached 30 inches, the bud gradually opened into its destined elegance. I took these back-lit shots with my macro lens.
I love this spectacular flower.
