Yes hippeastrums win the prize for speedy growth don't they? This one is beautiful. If you feed it with a high potash feed when it has finished flowering you may get more than two of those lovely flowers on it next time.

Great news then - looks great :)))))

That is so lovely, my daughter-in-law has one that has also flowered again, I do not understand what I do wrong with mine, I follow the instructions but its only ever flowered once when I first had it, instead it produces little bulblets...

Since i got 3yrs there as only ever been 2 flowers on it. Paul usually i look forward after xmas for this to flower, but dont think it will flower for me, with it flowering now.

I had one like that a few years ago, so i composted it in the end.

I dumped it in the greenhouse and forgot about it Clarice but it sprouted its leaves anyway so I thought I`d give it another go...

Good luck with it hope it flowers for you this time.

like magic! what a lovely surprise

It sure was :)))

That's such a pretty flower .......

I have had mine for over 20 years -( well the ones I have now are bulblets grown on from the original). You feed it after the flower has died, and after a few months let it dry out completely and remain dry and dormant through the summer. Some people actually turn the pot on its side to make sure it doesn't get wet. In the autumn it may start to grow by itself, in which case start to water it again. If it doesn't, you can begin to water it any time during the autumn and away you go again. If you want the flowers for Christmas and it hasn't decided to grow itself you can start watering it a few weeks before. Sometimes the flower spike is the first thing to appear.

Well, Clarice, well done you! I can't get them to grow again either, Lincs! You're not alone! Lol!

That is a lovely bonus for you Carol twice in one year;0))

Its a beauty Clarice

It was a bonus Carole Thanks girls :)

Your welcome Clarice :o))

thats good carole....

How strange. It's beautiful though. I wonder if it will flower again at the proper time.

Hywel i keep wondering the same :))

I hope it does :o)

Hi Clarice, I have one but its all leaves not a sign of a flower yet :(

I have written a couple of blogs on these lovely flowers. Last year I got the better part of 50 seedling to flower for the first time after 4 years of growing them This year the majority flowered again! :-)) In fact down on the allotment I have one in flower right now!
