I love the cyclamen. I want to get some for my garden this year. RE: Amaryllis, I can only grow mine in pots during the winter and my big red one finally bloomed in February but like yours, the flower stem was only about 5 inches tall... A huge trumpet of flowers, but right against the ground. I see that a couple more of the bulbs are sending up flower stalks and it looks like these might be tall. Wonder what causes that short stalk?
