Christmas Flowers?

Around Thanksgiving we received a "Holiday" Amaryllis gift basket from Melinda.  We started watering it as soon as we got home from Missoula after Thanksgiving, thinking it would bloom for Christmas.  Melinda said she thought it would be fun to have it for a decoration for Christmas.  Well, we kept waiting for it to grow.  We waited and waited.  It finally started to put up some small shoots. Then they kept growing and growing. And, it is just now starting to bloom!! Yeah!!
A few days ago this is what they looked like. 
 
This  is what they look like today.  
Melinda also got some for her.  They started growing a little earlier than ours.  Here is a picture of hers.

 
It is interesting that hers put up more than one shoot.  But, the flowers are really pretty and we can see what ours will looks like soon.
