Amaryllis, re- growing

I had put last winter's amaryllis in the basement after it finished flowering and forgot about it. Last Tuesday when cleaning up the basement and searching for Christmas decorations found the neglected amaryllis; the bulb was still firm..
Ah ha ,I will bring it upstairs water and fertilize it and see what happens, said to myself ....
After a long weekend of working I came home to find last years amaryllis has sprouted.
I am now looking forward to seeing how this beautiful flower re blooms , if I am lucky maybe in time for Christmas.
