Yes many of the good size bulbs will send up third stalk which means extending of the floral display.My Double King, Double Dragon, Dancing Queen, Alfresco, Lady Jane, Aphrodite & Blossom peacock have already flowered or are in flowering on the third stalk.

That is amazing, good value for money :D

Will they send three scapes in the next season as well ? or would i have to feed them really good to achieve a third or even a fourth scape :shock:

Its growing time for Amaryllis now.Feed with high phosphorus fertilizers like DAP but in very low doze.Phosphorus increases the bulb size so you can get three stalks each year.Three is max number.Have you noted color variation in Amaryllis like Dancing Queen.Some times every stalk flowerrs are different in color pattern even on the same bulb.

Tahir i am not going for Zinnia any more.I will replace Zinnia with Mari gold Bonanza.Zinnia blooming time is very short plus loses color with passage of time.Tahir many people are even replacing Zinnia with Petunia in our region.Plant petunia in Mid of Jan & you will enjoy till the end of July.

Exactly Sir, the first stalk had four blooms smaller size but intense colour, the second stalk had 3 buds, 1 aborted and two which bloomed had a tremendous size, the largest i have seen in any amaryllis, lets see what third scape has to offer :)
