Re: Amaryllis (or Hippeastrums)

Here is a nice one of Hippeastrum Appleblossom that Sandi asked me to share with you

Sandi says she keeps it in a pot and H.Appleblossom flowers for her every spring

I used to have "Apple Blossom" myself a couple of years ago, but couldn't get that one back in flower either!
That's a beauty in the photo Abby.

Re: Amaryllis (or Hippeastrums)

I'm pretty chuffed .. my amaryllis has a flower bud

Re: Amaryllis (or Hippeastrums)

I didn't know they flowered this time of year Janela? Are yours the same as the pot grown house plants that flower around Christmas, or are yours garden ones?

Re: Amaryllis (or Hippeastrums)

You will be even more chuffed Janela when it does flower. They are beautiful. Make sure you take a picture of it.

Another flower to rival it is an Epyphillum. Most cacti that flower are epyphillums but you need the large ones to really appreciate them.

Unfortunately I don't have a photo of mine. Next time it flowers I will take one.

Re: Amaryllis (or Hippeastrums)

This is the one that rested in the greenhouse over winter .. it was a lovely red one, it hasn't been taken out of the pot but as soon as it started showing leaves, I fed it at each watering.
I wondered about it flowering now, I'd have liked it to be at christmas

I will take a piccie Sandi I look forward to yours
