6-7 months. I am very pleased with the blooms displayed by Red Lion. I used to grow Amaryllis in ground but shifting them to pots last year around August/September. Over the years the bulbs placed in ground were sinking deeper & deeper in the ground. Some people are of the opinion that the bulbs placed in ground do not sink but my experience is that its true considering as the bulb grows its roots in search of nutrients push it deeper. Plus they multiply more rapidly if grown in pots.

Yes Khurram sb actually some years back i was facing the same problem with doubles.They were not multiplying then i asked the Amaryllis Master sir Arif.He told me to shift all bulbs into pots. This year i,l shift them to smaller pots.In pots they multiply readily.I am waiting for the Double Dream to bloom.Yours look so gorgeous just like a sweet lady in the garden or a sweet dreams come true.

I believe around 6 buds on a single scape. I am very pleased with the blooms of 'Red Lion' which resembles a flower tower.

Its fantastic that you managed to get 6 buds on a single scape of Naranja. :mrgreen:
