Well, as they say ..."you ain't seen nothing yet!" During the last few days I've added many more - as well as taking some away that have finished flowering.
The one on the far left, #7, has 5 flowers on its 2nd scape (stem/stalk) & it's still flowering though 1 flower is starting to go over.

Very impressive indeed.
Now a question:Last year I won a gift amaryllis, with 4 buds that opened, and then another stem with 4 more flowers sprouted from the same plant. Since then there are only the green leaves. Do I have to remove the leaves and leave only the buried bulb?

NO! DO NOT remove the leaves! If you remove the leaves from any bulbous plant then you will likely loose the following year's flowers or they will be less numerous/smaller. ALL bulbous plants use their leaves as a means of storing food in the bulb for the coming season. You should ALWAYS let leaves die back, at least till they start to go yellow, but the longer you can leave them the better. ?
Your Amaryllis will flower again next year if you leave the leaves to grow & feed it with a general fertilizer for about 3 months & then switch to a high potash one, (tomato or rose feed), for the last 3 months.
I've written several blogs on Amaryllis so you might like to have a look at some of them.
I have a lot of Amaryllis in flower at the moment as well as many that have finished flowering. I've started to feed them & in a few months time will change it for tomato feed.
