My Wonder/ Resurrection Lily Update

Resurrection/Wonder/Surprise Lily
 I promised to post pictures of the mysterious bulb that was blooming last week. Thank you for all that commented.  I had forgotten that I did have foliage that suddenly disappeared a few weeks prior to the bulbs sprouting. I had a great response of it being a Wonder Lily, more specifically a Lycoris bulb, some call it Naked Lady, Resurrection Lily, or Surprise Lily. (thank you Judy).
Pretty thing isn't it?  So glad I didn't pluck it from the ground.

Poor Little Paper Whites


This sad little bound plant is my poor little Paper Whites. I planted the three bulbs and have anxiously awaiting their blooms.
My friend bought them the same time I did but planted hers a week before I did. Hers bloomed three weeks ago.
Mine looked like they would bloom just in time for Thanksgiving Day. Instead, on Thanksgiving they took an ugly turn. I don't know if I over watered the night before or the heat of the kitchen with both a turkey, ham and a bunch of other stuff cooking the day away did it but, by afternoon, they were leaning over looking mighty sad.
I have babied them, doctored them and begged them to come too and bloom. I can actually see the flowers through the transparent skin of the buds. They perk up, then lean back over. The band is to help them stand upright. I just started trying this to help it from falling over :(
I am so worried about them. They just wont snap out of it!
Any suggestions?
