Dear Arif Sahab,

Nice Amaryllus you have.

Are these bulbs hardy or tender ?

S Adnan, yes these bulbs are hardy, more then you can imagine.
Here is a new addition to my stock, this trumpet is only 22months old and has six almost the same size babies.
The trumpet is 5 inches long and flower is 6 inches broad.

The last hippeastrum is brilliant, mine are blooming as well ( partly because of the care tips u posted :D) but they are not as health as your plants, i will take better care of them this year so that the flowers can match up to your plants standards :D
