I think I'm a new Amaryllis fan

WOW!!!! I've got to set some this year. They've only got the single red kind here, your double white is awesome!

I'm going to go buy one along with the bulbs I'm going to buy.Now those are some beautiful flowers!

I'm going to try let it seed* So if you interested... let me know


Yep I know and I only found out about them a few weeks ago

*I'm just having a bit of trouble self pollinating it since I cannot find any stigmas

absolutely gorgeous. thanks for sharing

Hadeda, don't try to get it to set seed. Like all bulbs once it sets seed, it looses vigor. You might be able to plant it outside where you are if it's warm enough. I think they need zone 8 and up

Jiffy is correct .

YOu should but it in hibernation so it comes back.
seed setting isnt good.

I just got 4 out of the basement which set since july.. Now I will see what happens.

Thanks for sharing those ..Beautiful is the word.

Those flowers are quite splendid, Hadeda. It's pretty amazing that they grow so quickly. I'm not familiar with them- do they have a strong scent?

Had a look at some of your photos- will have to go back when I have more time; they are great!

My pleasure


Lucky I mentioned it before actually attempting it

I think I'm somewhere between zone 8 to 10, not too sure what my zones are


Thanks

Maybe I'll just let one of my red ones(got four of them that hasn't flowered yet) set just to experiment with them


p.s. let me know what happens with the four of them


Nope they hardly have a scent at all, quite amazing actually

Thanks for looking at my photos

I think I'm in zone 12

you should be able to plant them outdoors. they will bloom!

How pretty! I love those, had a few of them that I kept for a couple of years in the house. Now seeing these I think I jsut may need to get some more of them, I love them when they bloom and it is colder than a creek rock outside.

Yes, that is one of the most beautiful displays I have ever seen.---

Dodge--apparently I need a keeper--when it is time to let mine go into hibernation this next time, I need "reminded" OK???

mine has just been put down to hibernate here last week. as I could not bend down to pick it up from outside, where a friend told me to put it last spring.

*I guess I will bring it back out some time in Dec???*

Sure I will post that on here ...............Hibernation is July...............
\Cut water and put me in the dark basement.............


amaryllis ............is the word.

jiffy ..............the type of weather is a factor in zone 5........But africa ???????? beats me.
