That's wonderful! What a great update after so long!!

Someone sent me one of those bulbs, a tiny little thing, and for a few yrs, it was in a pot with a few houseplants. At some point around 2016, I put the whole contents of that pot in the ground, with the intention of digging the bulb back up to shelter it for winter. I forgot about it, and there wasn't any foliage to remind me... by then I'd forgotten what it was supposed to be too.

In 2021, all of a sudden I noticed a red bloom in that spot. When the kind folks on here told me what it was, I remembered the bulb. When it finished blooming, I moved it to a better spot. It was much bigger by then, and I figured it had just needed a few years to reach mature size. Then my son ran over it with his car early last spring and I saw some foliage after, but it didn't bloom last year. I'm hoping it is still OK and just needed to re-adjust and will bloom this spring.

Is your bulb putting up foliage yet? I can't find anything that looks like bulb foliage in the area where I was hoping mine was still alive.

Could this be it?

@purpleinopp
Just read your post. The leaves do look like them. Did yours bloom?

My leaves never die back. They are fairly long.

Thanks for asking! I saw the foliage earlier in the year, but it got overtaken by taller neighbors. I need to move that, maybe to a pot. Smaller plants don't do well in my jungle.
