Hello dear garden lovers. I bought this beautiful hippeastrum - enter image description hereamaryllis bulb at Chelsea flower show this year and planted it in the pot as per instructions. Left it in the garden outside. Leaves and one flower bearing spot started growing rapidly and I couldn't wait to see the flower in bloom when.. I discover this side was eaten by something... previous posts suggest it may be cats or squirrels.. what could be done? Will it grow? How to prevent it ? Shall we grow them inside ? Any tips welcome...

enter image description hereYes we are in the UK , in London in Hampstead. Asked my neighbours' gardener whether it can still survive on half the stalk and bloom and miraculously as we speak it seems the case. The blooms have plumped up and ready to pop! Moreover. It seems that there is another bloom popping up from the other side. But as you mentioned Nikki , it's best to protect the plant from future reappearing of this mystic damage maker and keep the plant inside. Best wishes to you all.
