That's pretty cool, LL.

You can tell I've entered boredom-land as I set about posting pictures of a growing plant.

Xmas+12, and after a top-heavy tumble to the floor,
Amaryllis now has 4 blossoms + sprouts.
Unfortunately, her tumble may have damaged the stalk
because the two new blossoms don't look all that healthy.

Who knows how far she will grow,
and how far I can sink in this
"...artificially peach-and-vanilla scented swamp
of regurgitate-reminiscent slime that currently
passes for banter in here"

my parents had one of those, and it actually bloomed on Christmas day itself. Pretty impressive.

I won't show a picture of the sad state of our pet amaryllis.
It ended up with 4 blossoms.
But either the tumble to the floor or it's natural life cycle has ended it's fashion show.

Does anyone know about the care and feeding of an amaryllis after it's blooming cycle ?

We'd like to try to keep it going, but maybe it is just a one-off event.
