Oh, I saw those amaryllis bulbs at Lowe's but to be honest I am appalled and repelled by it. Reminded me of the poor succulents that gets spray painted or glittered.
I guess to have it like a temporary, seasonal cut-flower decor is okay. But for overall growth later, it does need to be properly planted in soil or whatever means you prefer, so it can grow its foliage and return to the bulb the energy it needs for next season.
Nice presentation though, that aspect is pretty.
