On a quick run through Target, I found an Amaryllis Bulb Kit. For the discounted $2.50, I figured if I didn't have the green thumb, or perhaps brown forefinger, for the amaryllis then at least I had a $2.50 pot to plant the next project.
The cashier tipped the poor thing over while I was checking out and a few dried leaves of the bulb dumped out. Surprisingly, the bulb had already sprouted and was just bouncing around inside the oversized pot. Or, perhaps it is not surprising to those who have purchased one of these 'kits' before.
I figure it gives me a challenge (to keep the darn thing alive!) and keeps me entertained for awhile. This plant will need a name to live with Roberta (the rubber ficus) and Patsy (the palm). And, the pot will need decorating... those are projects for another day!
