Update: These “cheap” bulbs are still alive as of January 1, 2021 and continue to bloom around Easter. They have also split off and formed several more bulbs over the last decade.

My big box chain store inside bulbs have greatly pleased me in their performance. The flower below bloomed over Christmas, just in time for the birth of Jesus Christ. It’s even red and white!

The second one has not pleased me as well as the first one. It has plopped over in this picture, and shows no signs of blooming. It has since stood back up, but will probably flop over again sometime soon. It has flopped over before and then risen again, so I am not sure what is wrong with it.
