Very large bulb indeed. I guess it flowers in autumn but let's c how it performs here in lahore. Saw the pics on google, leaves very large and long flower spikes. I hope it will grow well for you. Doc, do let us know how your other bubs are doing. That will benefit lots of bulb growers

Most of the amaryllis are sprouting now. Allium ampeloprasum has also started to sprout. Will post pictures as they progress.
