Answer 1

Look at these. If these look familiar, then it is a Red Amaryllis:

I am going to guess that it is an Amaryllis??? This is a bulb and can be "forced" to bloom. If you live in the deep south you can put in the ground in indirect sun or you can keep it indoors. Depending on the type of Amaryllis bulb you have you may get red, white or a multi colored flower - whatever the color, they are truly beautiful. Some are fragrant - some are not. Don't keep the bulb too wet or it will rot. Just damp and watch it grow! They grow fast.

It is an Amarryillis a very large (comes in red-pink-yellow-white & even green) plant in dirt in early Oct just up to bulb neck- rich soil-water well. Make sure excellent drainage if potted- requires half day or more sun- very bright window if in house. By 3 weeks, you should see really long, slendar green leaves coming out of bulb/, thengrow very rapidly. Usually blooms at Christmas or thereabout- keep watered, fertilize Lightly with Miracle grow when skinny long stem appears in leaves- this is stalk of flower- can reach upwards of 3 feet & usually has 3 large trumpet shaped flowers. When flowering is over- quit watering but allow leaves to die back naturally, as this is what supplies energy for next years blooms. Cut back to 1 inch above bulb when all leaves yellow, & do not water till spring. Keep away from cold drafts. You may get second blooming if you repeat instructions about March (May -if you are in cold area) DO NOT OVERWATER-Only water when 1 inch down soil gets dry.

definite, i respect plant existence and dealing interior the backyard :) My mom has transmitted that pastime into me :D I keep in mind we may visit this flower-save each summer and we offered such an outstanding form of flowers and plant existence each and every time we went :) My father likes to plant timber even with the reality that.. :D And some thing that grants culmination :) My grandmother also has a large backyard with vegetables and culmination, i imagine that is surely large, I only love strolling there.. It relieves the rigidity and that's so acceptable to work out :) not ordinary artwork does pay off :)

Answer 5

the description of bulb with a green tip,is common to all bulbs showing signs of awakening from their dormant stage,the green tip,soon to grown into a shoot is the first sign of growth.My guess is that it is an amaryllis bulb,it will now need coming out of it's packing & kept indoors where there is light & warmth.,water when dry,after new leaves have sprung up,a single shoot with a bud at the tip should develop ,this will bloom into a bunch of closely packed tubular, lilly like flowers.I hope i am right because i am sure you will never be disappointed with this display of colour & form.
