Need ID on red/white/green amaryllis
Q
Comments (14)
I am a TOTAL newbee at gardening... I have been inspired by a wonderful Amaryllis my friend gave me this Christmas. Not sure what type of Amaryllis this is... It is the standard reddish/pink with five blooms coming from the top of the stalk. The AMAZING thing is that once it bloomed, faded & dried up, a totally NEW stalk grew and bloomed five more fabulous flowers! Now I want to 1) Nurture the original bulb so it will bloom again next year. 2) Self pollinate it for seeds. I have some questions surrounding these goals: Did the plant bloom twice because the bulb was some sort of "twin"?? 2nd stalk came from the same bulb as the 1st, but from a 2nd area at top of the bulb. Is that common? I have never seen this before, and neither has my friend who is more into gardening than I have been. If I nurture the bulb, should it happen again?? What is the best way to handle the original bulb once the Amaryllis has finished blooming, so it will bloom again. How soon will it bloom again? Next year, or does it skip a year? Should I take it out of soil or let it keep growing?? No idea how to do this... HELP! To self pollinate, do I take some of the pollen on a Q-tip and get it onto the stamen in the center of the pollen bearing stalks? I've read Mymimi43's comments about the blossom end swelling to indicate that the pollination takes, but how long do you let that happen and how do you harvest seeds? I'm sorry I am so unversed in this but I find it fascinating! Figure if I have some success with this, I'll try something more exotic! Thanks Mymimi43, Hans-Werner and Lora!! Holley PS. Photo is of the plant's first set of blooms. This post was edited by KiwiLuv on Sat, Feb 8, 14 at 15:29

I'd say they look like H. Supreme Garden, available through Royal Colors... I think Brent & Becky's Bulbs might carry those, too. Both have websites. http://www.royalcolors.com http://store.brentandbeckysbulbs.com/spring/ Just copy and paste... hope this helps!

It is very similar to the Mangrove Spider Lily /Hymenocallis latifolia. http://www.regionalconservation.org/beta/nfyn/plantdetail.asp?tx=Hymelati'

((((silly)))) welcome to the amaryllis forum! Guys, this is another of my Florida forum pals. I really like this amaryllis she has. It reminds me of my little Miss Ethel flower but hers is a bit bigger. It has a more pronounced center white. I hope one of the geniuses here can ID it for you. Can't wait to see you and your Mom again, bugs, at Ricky's swap in May. Would you like some of my amaryllis cross seeds?? They are so much fun to grow from seeds.

Welcome to the forum, Sillybugs! Any friend of Cindee's is a friend of mine... especially if they're completely hooked on plants and gardening!

Cindee has totally corrupted me! I not only collect hippeastrum bulbs and am beginning to breed them, but now I've suddenly developed this craving for orchids! I wonder how that came about?! Any clue, Cindee? Heehee!

I have to say... your flower does resemble Blossfeldiae to some extent... yours appears not to have the reflexed petals, but is otherwise close in appearance. A cross, perhaps?

Anyway... welcome to our little piece of hippeastrum heaven, Sillybugs... I do hope you enjoy it here!
