I can count 9 tips in total!!! I hope they are all blooms...
(Anyway, when do I start watering?? Only when leaves sprout?? TYIA)

 

[dan_t]

Not yet! Leave them until the leaves are growing and then only water sparingly

The growths look good - good luck with them!

[biothanasis]

11 tips so far!!!

 

[biothanasis]

Tips have grown, but so have roots!!!! LOL I have not moved it from this position as I am afraid of breaking the roots!!! 12 tips...

Lots of nice buds coming too!

 

[NYEric]

Looking good.

 

[Yoyo_Jo]

Excellent - good luck! I must go google this to see what the blooms will look like...

 

[Ron-NY]

looking good :clap:

 

[biothanasis]

This is going to be the first bud to open (almost 3cm in length)...some 2-3 more seem to be following in some days, but time will tell...!!!

 

[raymond]

nice

 

[NYEric]

It would be nice if the blooms last long enough to get a bunch in a group photo!

 

[biothanasis]

Yes, Eric!!! That would be nice!!! But the bulbs have shrivelled and got smaller, cause I was told not to water them !!! I started giving some water at the roots very cautiously every three days or so......!!!!!:ninja:

 

[biothanasis]

I can't take a proper photo at this stage cause there are lots of pointy parts on the flower and the camera cannot focus well enough... I think this will get better as the flower opens...
