I have over 50 of these beauties. They too, came from Grandma Ruby. She absolutely loved to "piddle" in her garden. She was given the bulbs by another family member many years ago. Every year she would dig them up after they bloomed, and separate the bulbs - they multiply like wild. After she died, we found a boxes of the bulbs in her gardening shed. My sister and I planted lots, and every spring and summer when they bloom, we remember Grandma Ruby.
This year, I am going to try to "force" bloom some indoors for Christmas. I'll let you know how they turn out. Hopefully they will be bright red, and have lots of blooms.

Thank you so much for your nice comment! I always force amaryllis every year during the holidays. It's really easy and they grow so fast! They are so beautiful!
Good post today. Charlotte and I have wondered why you were not posting more often. We decided you were too busy. Yesterday I deleted a large numbers of comments from my computer but I left yours so I would remember to visit you. And then your comment came in last nigiht. I was pleased to hear from you but sorry to receive your bad news. I have been writing a lot about sufffering lately and I see it as one of the major problems we face as humans. Please know that I will be praying for you and your family and that I believe prayer in powerful to change things.
Your flowers are so precious especially because they belonged to your Grandma Ruby. I hope you'll be able to force them to bloom for Christmas. Nice. Lovely colour.
Have a nice evening.
