I've seen a water method for starting seeds described on the Amaryllis/Hippeastrum forum, but this species has seeds that are round and fat, different from the hybrids. From the little bit I've gleaned so far, these should be planted in a gritty seed starting mix and watered from the bottom. But I don't know whether to leave them in the garage under lights (very cool) or bring them into the house (less cool). I also have a small heat mat I could put them on if they want to be warmer. If you have Veronica Read's book and can see if she mentions germination preferences for this particular species, I would appreciate it.

Thank you for your comments about my gallery and blog. But both show a big problem of mine: I am not able to focus on one or two plant familys. My plant collection is a real mess, the spanish phrase "de todo un poco" applies very well. So I am doing many things but nothing properly.

I got no hippies in bloom right now but got lots of clivias blooming! I saw a bud peaking on one of my Santos so that is something to look forward to. Pity that we can’t post videos here as I have been doing a few and posting them in my Facebook page, Maria’s Garden USA. Come visit me in FB sometime. Anyway, here’s one from Japan that recently bloomed for me. Happy International Women’s Day!!!
