My ones on the steps, in a pot, are in just breaking bud DD. Wonderful late blooming bulb. The other ones in the back border are suffering from being shaded by an unpruned fuchsia.Have to do a rescue job on them as they are £8 for 6 bulbs!

I've never grown them, but you do see them up here occasionally. I don't think they would like my garden though...not warm and sheltered enough.

I have had mine for years, never ever flowered. Have moved them several times which apparently they don't like. But still no flowers! Any suggestions?

Siris sometimes the slugs and snails eat the middle of the plant, hence no flowers.....have moved ours around several times, so they will move! look for S&S damage!!
Dorjac that is very expensive....
K they do need warmth, we grow them near a hot sunny wall....

No S or S damage, Mine are close against the bungalow wall, perhaps need a bit more moisture?

Not sure...ours have had no water at all for months, perhaps you have moved them too many times? not had time to establish themselves? we only moved large established clumps...

Oh well, hopefully they're not going anywhere else! Lol

It's beautiful! I won't see these blooming until late winter or early spring.

Very nice!
I find that members of the Amaryllis family dislike root disturbance.

True....although you can be lucky sometimes.
