My Hippeastrums

My large pot of some 6 plants have been "languishing" at my daughter's place for nearly three years as I travelled, but now settled in Beachmere, I rescued them some months ago.  The pot was dry, and there was hardly any sign of the bulbs.

I moved them to Beachmere, added some water and eventually the shiny green leaves appeared.  Then at long last one bud - and I have watched it develop over several weeks.

Today, it opened.
