Re: Amaryllis 2014
. I also was fortunate to receive a gift of Amaryllis bulbs from Brig Arif about a year back.This is their current state .I had cut the big leaves to about 2" size in Nov 13. Hope they bloom next season.Any observation/tips please?
. Wouldn't they do better in ground; when can they be shifted ?

Re: Amaryllis 2014
Ground is best as it provides uniform moisture and nourishment. How about a close up of the white one, the one on right of it looks like Papillio.

. Fine; what then is the best time to shift to ground & what is its sun/shade requirement?="Muhammad Arif Khan"]Ground is best as it provides uniform moisture and nourishment. How about a close up of the white one, the one on right of it looks like Papillio.
. White bulb plant is Ornithogalum longibracteatum,gifted by Mikhurram. A close up is attached.
. You are right, the plant next to it in the front row is Papillio, sent by you along with Amaryllis.

Re: Amaryllis 2014
She is a beautiful seedling for sure.... by the way, the scape which started forming earlier then this one is behind and the blooms are still developing...
