It looked like a great big onion with lots of roots. They soaked it for five hours in warm water, then planted it with half of the bulb sticking out. They watered it and put it in a warm window then waited 35 days to see the first signs of growth. After the Christmas holidays they saw a little green point. It grew slowly at first. Then it grew quickly. By Feb. 15, it was 66 centimetres tall. It kept growing toward the light. It had to be tied up because it was so wobbly. The big bud opened. It had five, huge pink flowers on the one stem.
