Daylily Nursery Charisma Amaryllis Bulb - Single Blooming Amaryllis

I order these every year at about Thanksgiving so they'll be in bloom for Christmas. This one looked so beautiful on the box with at least 2 main stalks. I opened it as soon as it arrived and sure enough 2 stalks had already begun to sprout - about 3" long. Unfortunately the box it came in left it no place to grow but curl around the bulb. (This is NOT a kit - you will need your own pot and soil). I transplanted the bulb immediately and put it under a grow-light to try to force the stalks upright. Only one responded. When I went in further to see why I say that the second stalk was severed from the bulb. It wasn't going to grow at all. It's a shame Because the one stalk that is intact has at least 5 blooms on it. It's gorgeous, the colors so vivid. It would have been great with 10 flowers on the whole plant.

I’m really disappointed, all flowers are damaged!

I ordered 5 these bulbs at +- 29.00 each. Not ONE of them bloomed. they were rotten (3 of them) when they arrived and hoping they might survive I treated them with great care and according to directions. Later that week I bought 5 bulbs at Trader Joes for 7.99 each. They all bloomed beautifully. What a rip-off. I will never buy another growing thing from Amazon and will look more carefully at the things I do buy.

I was skeptical about ordering a bulb online, but I thought I'd take a chance at this terrific price-point. I'm so glad that I did!! I think I'm going to order a few more to keep the magic blooming!! My friends are green with envy over my lovely winter blooms, and I have given a few people the link to purchase. It does take patience, following directions, and the willingness to take a chance. Sometimes they just don't bloom, so it's wise to buy two or three for every one that will potentially take off and bloom "correctly". I also purchased a waxed amaryllis bulb from another merchant, and that one is a dud so far; I don't think it's going to take off. Again, it's wise to buy two or three for every one that will turn into a winner!

Nice big bulb and two flower stalks. One stalk is in bloom with 4 flowers, the other is still in bud. Flowers have a bit more red veining than the photo. Very nice.
