Green thumb


I am so excited because I finally got a house plant to actually bloom! I bought an amaryllis bulb before Christmas because I always thought they looked so pretty. I followed all of the directions on the package, but I was beginning to think that it wasn't going to grow. The bulb had already sprouted when I bought it, but it was taking a long time to grow any more. Finally, over the past few weeks, the stem has shot up. Two days ago, it decided to bloom! It is absolutely gorgeous! I have it in my bedroom, away from the cats, because I heard that they can be very poisonous if the kitties decide to eat it. So far, they haven't even noticed it. I don't know if they even realize it's a plant.
Anyhow, I've included a picture so ya'll can see how beautiful it is!!!!
