Hi Popmama,

Congratulations!!! That is a wonderful achievement not to mention the perfect red blooms. All the folks I work with wouldn't even give it a chance, they just simply throw them away after the holidays. Their excuse, it's too much work to get them to flower again so you should definitely be commended for your efforts :-)))

Thanks Fred. I'm surprised that I try these things myself. But when you have the success, then there is a sense of pride in something you did that others think is too hard.

And then...CHAD kicks in :-)))))))

Popmama, Congratulations!

Do you still have the other bulbs? If so they might still bloom for you this year. -J

Don't give up just yet for more blooms to come, as others have mentioned they might bloom later this winter right into Spring or Summer! I find that most of the bulbs that I get to re-bloom from a previous year never bloom for the holidays, you really need a newly purchased bulb for Christmas but the older ones usually start thinking about Feb, March or April to bloom.

Yes I have the others. I have two more that are in "wait and see" mode. The others I planted in a pot and they went down in my window-well "greenhouse". I will let them stay there and they will go outside for the summer. I'll let you know if any of them bloom.

I don't mind Feb, March or April blooms as that is basically still winter here.

Thanks Debra! I really like ZZs. I'd have ten of them if I had room for them. I have one now and may have room for one more.
