New amaryllis

dandysmom · 02-01-2009, 10:01 PM

This is one of the cibister amaryllises that come from South America, unlike the larger flowered Dutch amaryllis which are from South Africa. The variety is called Sumatra. They're unusual and I rather like the flower shape. Have four of the regular ones in bud now.

That is a beauty, love the shape of the flowers....You certainly have green fingers...

That's beautiful Eileen, so different to the ones I have........ the stamens are long on yours and it has a more delicate look. How many buds have you got on that one?

It has two buds, Mags, and there are five flowers on the opened one. The other new one, a dark red has two bud stalks also. One of the old ones also has two, the other two just one bud, but as they've never been repotted in new soil, can't complain.

My agapanthus which is Wintering inside has made two offshoots...should I repot them come Spring?

You certainly do well with your amaryllis .....I hope I can keep mine until next Christmas too!

My agapanthus has always been outside in a pot and I've never touched it for years. However this year I divided it and planted it directly into the ground. It has a few new shoots but I haven't thought of repotting them ........I'll see if I can google anything about it

Am I having a senior moment; I thought Moli's agapanthus was an offshoot from yours...

Mags chopped her into bits Eileen, and sent me two of the bits...

I have 2 very good size plants now though, so you were not that brutal Mags....

Hmmmm. Think I will just separate the offshoot bulbs the way I did with the yellow amaryllis!
