I'm unreasonably delighted with these amaryllis blooms, because I didn't really expect them.
Previous experience with these bulbs was that they produce long vigorous leaves. Period. This plant, however, shot out an impressively phallic flower stalk almost as soon as it was planted. Two flowers appeared at Christmas, and two more followed. This in spite of our (mostly) sunless winter days, and indoor temperatures not quite up to what the instructions on the box suggest.
Nature is tougher than all of us!
