This is a bulb in a box Armaryillis. There was already growth when I
opened and planted 2 weeks ago. It is not in bloom and maybe it is my
imagination that it is the flower not just leaves. There are 2
plants , or it looks that way, coming out of the bulb. I just have no
experience with forced and or indoor bulbs like this


when it starts growing there will be some leaf growth
with a flower stalk, the flower stalk does not look at
all like leaves so you'll know it if you have one.

usually the first thing out of the bulb is the flower
stalk with a few small tips of the leaves and then the
leaves gradually come along as the stalk gets taller.

multiple sprouts are common.
