This year I chose an amaryllis of a different color. This is my gorgeous Apple Blossom Amaryllis, which ended up having SIX blossoms. It's brilliant white with pink streaks and a rosy glow on the edges of the petals. I think it has a lovely scent too. I would definitely grow this type again.
For those who don't know, growing an amaryllis is a tradition that I started only in the past 5 or 10 years. I think I was inspired by my Dad, if memory serves me correctly.
Does anyone have experience with saving an amaryllis from one year to the next and getting it to bloom again?
Meanwhile, enjoy.

I believe the drill is to store the bulb in a dark, cool place (a closet?) and bring it out at the appropriate time the next year. I can't recall that I succeeded. Memory fails....
