Hippeastrum leonardii gone haywire?

8 years ago

I purchased this as a 2cm wide bulb about 2 years ago, and the growth has been remarkable. This past spring I removed approx 12 rooted offsets, now I count about 25 more, many of which are rooted and could be removed.

The mother bulb has increased to ~2" wide. Since this came from a highly-respected seller, I'm sure this is correctly labeled, but any flowering could be more than a year away.

Has anyone grown this species? Is this kind of offsetting normal? Here's a picture taken just now. It's in a 10" pot.

Thanks,

Rick in CT
