I am staging my several amaryllis bulbs to get ready for dormancy. They were outside for the summer and are now in a dark corner of the garage losing their leaves and then they will soon go in the basement.

But I just noticed that one of them has a nice tip of a bud showing at the base. This is usually an exciting sign, but I am not sure about seeing that now? Should I pretend it is January and put it in front of a sunny window to bloom? I wouldn't want it to dry up and lose it during dormancy.
