This christmas present couldn't wait to get out of the box! It was doubled over when I opened and planted it on boxing day ~ but now here it is! Warm and glowing on a cold winter's day.

They are lovely flowers, Sticki! :-)) I just had to add this photo to my favourites!
Hope you can keep it for many years! :-))
I have 5 different plants in flower in our living room at present, though tomorrow it will be just four - for a couple of days! I have several more bulbs about to start flowering as well. :-))
To get them over a long period you need lots of plants & I have about 50 pots of Amaryllis bulbs! They are all grown from my own seed as well.

Did yours flower on christmas day kat?
Thanks Balcony, I hope so too! 5 out in flower must be quite a show! but 50 is amazing! There is one bud to come ~ so I hope that will flower too although it looks a little smaller?
Growing them from seed is incredible ~ that must take a long time?

Beautiful colour Sticki, really cheering.

I was given one last year......it is a lovely present. What are you planning to do with it once the flower dies back. The leaves form.....mine are still strong. I think I should have lifted it and let it dies back.

Thanks DD
Im hoping to try to keep it going linda ~ Balcony has given me lots of helpful advice ~ he has even managed to grow them from seed!!!

I think that by now most regular posters on GoY know my liking for Amaryllis! :-D But if anybody wants help with their Amaryllis they need only post a question & I will try to help!

Thanks homebird, I'm hoping to try to keep mine but with the help of balcony's advice!

What a lovely colour Sticki :0)

it is nice, thanks sue! shows what nice presents plants are!

Beautiful colour!
We have two in bloom at the moment, and, disappointingly, they are both "white". I say "disappointingly" because we were told they would be red.
One plant is massive and looks as if it could be a Triffid in disguise. The flowers are very large also.
Agree; they make great Christmas gifts.

thank you Eirlys ~ if i could have found another one I would have chosen white or that lovely red and white striped one
sorry you were disappointed, its a real shame when labelling and information is wrong.
18 Jan, 2013
Thats a beauty.
18 Jan, 2013
thanks clarice, its nice to have a 'warm' colour!!
18 Jan, 2013
It sure is.
18 Jan, 2013
thank you

gorgeous colour, looking forward to the next one of mine opening up, it should be dark red with a black centre, fingers crossed, the last one turned out pink but was beautiful. :O)
18 Jan, 2013

18 Jan, 2013
