Amaryllis Your choice

[Muhammad Arif Khan]

The Whites
















I am not showing off my Amaryllis, I am trying to create interest in this remarkable plant that has varieties not seen in any other plant except Daylilies and I have fallen in love with BOTH.

From whites I would pick

1 = 5th

2 = 3rd

3 = 6th

The other shades and mixtures are even more exciting and they are also one of the best cut flowers.

These days Value is assessed by cost, a free gift is of little value. on the other hand if you have taken pain and grown it from seed you are likely to care for it.
For those really interested I have a few seeds of some of my best. I will gift a dozen to each provided you keep me posting the progress.

I can see Papillio

Brig. Sb. my Amaryllis stopped blooming after their 1st bloom in 2012, what is happening? presently they are passing through high heat stress period , every year from november to Oct day temp 45 max. Therefore i never keep any perennial because everything get burn.

I believe they don't know when to bloom in these conditions ::O

Lets try, Pull out some, cut leaves, trim roots to 4 inches, wash,dry and wrap individually in news paper, store in refrigerator for Four weeks, Plant with neck out, keep at room temperature until growth appears, shift to a morning sun. After bloom provide shade of a net and keep the soil moist. they are heavy feeders so do feed them NPK 2-1 3 about 600 PPM N every month or so.
Good luck
