I think you're the first person I've heard of successfully growing one from seed - well done!

Thanks gillian , I honestly didn,t think it would ever flower it was so tiny , it was quite a shock to see this huge stem coming up out of such a small amount of foliage ,( the leaves you can see in the photo belong to another plant ).and there is another huge bud ready to open hidden behind this flower .

Aren't Amaryllis a delight. I support children with special needs in a mainstream school and for Christmas last year I bought them a bulb each. It's just so rewarding to see how quickly they grow and what amazing flowers they produce. I had no idea you could grow them from seed though!
