Clare, I would have done the same thing! You got a great deal! I am confident you will have them healthy and in their full glory in no time!

Poor things!!......If you hadn't I would have saved them!!!!

Clare, when they are done, cut off the stem and let them go dormant, no water. When spring/summer hit, move themoutdoors and water and feed them. New leaves will sprout. Early fall, dormant again with the leaves cut, until winter and you will have new leaves and flowers.

And don't surprised to see a second bulb forming. I started with two plant and finally had to give away over a dozen "babies".

pkramer - For years I use to get one every Christmas then plant it outside. Here in CA they do great outside and bloom in the spring. I had quite a few growing nicely under a tree until some critter either moved them and buried them somewhere else or ate them. Now I keep them in pots and move them to the greenhouse when done. BTW, they are not what the label said they would be, but they usually never are. LOL

Here is what they looked like after they bloomed. Of course what the box said they were and what they turned out to be was two different things. I don't think I have ever got one in a box that was correct. LOL
