I ordered this around Thanksgiving, and it was delivered as a Christmas gift to my mother on Dec. 4th. It didn't bloom in time for Christmas or New Years, but it's blooming now, in February, and it's spectacular. It has a stalk with 4 huge blooms, and another stalk with a bud that may get taller and bloom too. It gave her something to look forward to. She couldn't believe that the waxed bulb didn't need to be planted in a pot or watered. Ideal gift for anyone, really.

The first bloom was Christmas morning. Then a total of 5 flowers on that spike.



Then another flower spikes with 5 more flowers. 3 flowers stilllookgood

I received the bulb in mid-November and from the minute I placed it on the table it began to grow. It is mid-January and it has already bloomed twice - about 4-5 beautiful flowers each time. It has produced another stalk and will undoubtedly bloom profusely in the near future. Each morning, it has been fun and entertaining to see how much it has grown from the day before.

Wonderful product and all the 10 I ordered were gifts and everyone is amazed at how they are growing and so pretty with the blooms.

Gave amaryllis bulbs to some of my golfing girl friends as a little holiday gift during a get together lunch. They loved them and have reported that they are still blooming the middle of January!
