Glowing!

Beautiful! I have got the same on X-mas 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?

Hi Sticki, mine were only sticking out from the box on X-mas :))))) They do not bloom yet. They are in pseudowinter garden.

That's lovely Sticki - or they're lovely

That should keep me going ~ many thanks balcony ~ Im not sure I have the right conditions for growing on the seeds ~ but I will see how I get on growing and keeping this bulb and maybe add to my collection later?

hope yours flowers soon kat

thanks paul ~ it has 3 flowers on one stem but i couldnt get all three in the photo!

How bright and cheerful is that!!

makes me feel warm looking at it ~ thanks lulu

beautiful:-))

lovely present wasnt it ~ thanks summerbreeze

Wow ! what a fantastic present Sticki :o)

Very nice colour:)

yes, Amy, at first it didnt look so good but now all three flowers are out its quite a treat ~ thank you

i like its colour ~ thanks kasy

thats a beauty sticki :o)

thanks san, i think sometimes they have 4 flowers on the top of the stem and this only has 3 but im very happy with it.

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!

You are very kind......and helpful, thanks balcony

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.

Thats a beauty.

thanks clarice, its nice to have a 'warm' colour!!

It sure is.

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)

oh that sounds amazing oliveoil ~ would love to see that!

Will post a picture when it opens :O)

yes please, thanks oliveoil
