The amaryllises have been poorly treated. In late spring, when the weather was colder than normal, they were evicted from the lounge and forced to take residence in the greenhouse. This provided the wrong sort of environment, too cold and dry for their main leaf growth. They also suffered predation. When it warmed up a bit, they were moved to a sunnier location, but by then the leaf growing season was mostly past.
This one, and one other, is so confused, that while we were away it decided to have another go at the year, and grew a flower. I'm always pleased to see them, but I rather doubt we will have any blooms in March next year. It also has a self-seeded poppy for company.
