My hippeastrums
Comments (12)I think that Deepak can confirm that these both are from an older stock... The flower shape with rather narrow segments and a rather light-and-airy appearance make me stand towards my opinion like umh...ummmmh... like a mighty immemorial German oak tree *ROFL* So... Be confident, Maria! (in great sympathy and with a biiiiiiiig smile). Yes, it is frost-free in West Germany now, and my treasures are being subsequently replanted (as appropriate)and transferred to outdoors...

Comments (13)Yeah... Chúc Mừng Nãm Má»i, Year of the Buffalo to everyone!(Ox means Cow, doesn't it? if so, not Ox, Buffalo it is!) This year the New Year Day falls on January 25th. In Vietnamese culture, everyone gets one year older, regardless what his/her birthday is! So, I'm going to be 59 Lunar Year Olds! Wow, 59! Too old, ain't I??? Edna, that hippi is wonderful. These days, I check it first thing every morning. It looks so brillant, so bright, so vigorously full of life! Love it and many thanks to you, dear! Annette, Papillio is very special, I like its blooms. It's on my wish list. This hippi from Edna performs better and better every year: 2006, blooms without leaves; 2007, one scape 4 blooms and some leaves; 2008, a bunch of beautiful leaves, 2 scapes, 5 blooms on the first scape and maybe 5 for the second scape, too!!! I hope the second scape will open on New Year Day. If it does, it will be best luck for me! Thank you all, my gardening buddies across the pond! Xuan...See MoreMy splitting Hippeastrum
Comments (15)Hi Arif, I agree that this is what we recognize as splitting, but my point is that splitting is not fundamentally different from offsetting. In both cases an additional meristem develops, which results in the formation of a new bulb. When the new bulb develops at margin of the basal plate, it is manifested in what we recognize as offsetting. When the new bulb develops in the vicinity of the growing meristem, then it results in splitting of the bulb. When the new bulb is initiated somewhere in between, the result is a splitting that is more asymmetrical than what we normally recognize as splitting. Someone else might call it offsetting in this case, which is fine. My point is that there is no clear line to distinguish the two processes. Bill ....See MoreRelated Professionals
