Go ahead, give it a try!

I am a tender bulb with dramatic flowers, originally from the Andes mountains of Chile and Peru. My name, translated from the Greek, means "sparkling", and I am named after a shepherdess in Greek mythology. I flower from late fall to early spring. I am quite popular as a Christmas gift.

a. Amaryllis
b. Lily
c. Orchid

I feel pretty confident about 1 and 2. 3 is just a wild guess (kind of a process of elimination...)

[TigH]

What does that mean??? Are we wrong?

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh! The suspense is killing me. You can't keep us waiting like this! I am the person who will plant a bulb and then later dig down into the soil to see if it has started growing. Same thing for some of the larger types of seeds. I just gotta know!!!!

Please don't keep us waiting much longer!
