so my mom gave me a plant as a housewarming present when my fiance and I moved in together, a bulb with a couple of long leaves in a pot...had no idea what it was, but I was determined to keep it going. it's survived a bug infestation that killed all its leaves (as well as a great deal of my herb garden, but it all seems to have bounced back pretty well...and luckily, it hit in the fall anyway), and a year and a half later, it's actually blooming. so I had to poke my mom for the name of that plant a couple of weeks ago. XD ...and I'm surprised to find an amaryllis thread here!
