As I was sitting in Common Grounds, our dear friend Keane came and gave me an amaryllis bulb! I'm kind of nervous though. My first plant that I haven't killed is sitting in my office window...It's even continuing to grow and I replanted it in a pot I painted:
And now I have another plant to conquer! After reading the planting and care tips it seems easy to get it to flower, but there are a lot of steps after that. Apparently after it blooms, you cut it back and put it in your fridge for six weeks, but make sure there isn't an apple in the fridge - they will sterilize the bulb...what if Greg and I forget and put an apple in the fridge? I guess plants are my new test. If I can take care of a plant then I can take care of a dog and then....baby steps....
