I found the amaryllis bulbs I'd put in the shed had sprouted so thought I should plant them up. One had a bulblet which I don't think I've seen on an amaryllis bulb before.
bulblet potted up
I put the bulbs on top of pebbles in pots and vases
and one in a vase; I had this (large) hyacinth vase handy on the window sill as I'd bought it on ebay recently, otherwise I'd have to get out one of my amaryllis vases which I'd put away after the forcing season.
