Success

I was given the bulb for this Amaryllis back in 2009 when we lived in Baltimore.  Despite the lack of sun in that apartment, it had a splendid year with 12 blooms.  Since then, I have not been able to convince it to bloom.  My mother suggested I quit cutting back the green leaves as they provide energy for the next flower and should be left to die more naturally.  I gave that a go and wallah we finally have another bloom.  Luckily I know a green thumb or my garden would be a wasteland of nothingness.
