Hope you guys can see this...I took pictures every day until all four buds on the scape opened. I put them in the album on facebook. This is a 'public link' meaning you don't need a facebook account to see them. http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=73487&l=a91d0&id=611400806the album will keep going if you click the 'next' at the upper right corner of the pictures of if you click on the picture

Yes, I could see it just fine, Kenny. That is a nicely done progression for your amaryllis blooms. And very pretty blooms too.

the scape with the flowers on top was about a foot and a bit (not including the bulb). I forgot to keep turning the pot so the scape grew to one side. When I turned it 180* to try to get it growing straight (in the opposite direction) i guess it wasn't able to stretch on one side so a red patch appeared (damaged tissue on amaryllis appears red). Guess turning the pot 180* made the scape stretch too much. GOOD NEWS: I think it's going to bloom a second time! I see the top of a scape pushing out in the middle of the small leaves that it put out!

the second scape is blooming now! what a nice coincidence: the first flowers opened on Christmas day and now the second set have opened on Valentines! This time I have six buds atop a 3' scape. I've never had such luck with amaryllis before!
