Amaryllis
One of my favorite indoor plant in the winter and spring is the amaryllis, with large lily-shaped flowers on tall stems.
They are becoming a popular holiday gift, because they are beautiful and colorful.As a bulb, it shares some care and growth methods used with other bulbs.
However, because of its background as a tropical plant, and bloom cycle,
there are differences. The amaryllis bulb is NOT winter hardy, so would not survive planted outdoors, as would tulips, daffodils, etc.
The amaryllis is for indoor blooms on a yearly cycle.
With proper care, the bulb will flower again each year.
