Beauty of my Amaryllis.
Comments (20)"Best considered the 'deluxe' sort of 'Picotee' with any number of marketing names. Here best belong clones such as 'Picotee Red Lining,' 'Picotee Petticoat,' etc. These types have extra red coloration that strays outside the outer petal edges, often flushing the face of the flower with extra brushstrokes. Probably best considered as 'Bob Ross,' the only registered name for this type (Ludwig/Berbee 1997).

Comments (8)That could very well be your problem. A good dusting with Captan anti-fungal powder will help. If the blotches are not really blotches, but are more like red stripes or lines on the leaves and scapes, the problem could be a tiny mite... I can't spell or pronounce the name, but I know that if the problem isn't too advanced, a good spray with a 3 in 1 insecticide/miticide/fungicide will do the trick... just be sure to do the follow up applications, too.

Comments (4)The bulb is potentially dangerous, other parts may be if eaten in quantitiy. One toxic chemical is lycorine. If he's like my bird he didn't actually eat it, he just chewed it up. How is he acting? Birds can vomit so if it's too upsetting he will just vomit it up. Lycorine in small doses causes salivation, vomiting & diarrhoea, in larger amounts central paralysis and collapse. Reports of serious poisoning are rare and mostly rather old. Recent statistics only show cases of ingestion with at most slight symptoms. Animal poison control 1-800-213-6680 I think the fees start at $35.00. Sorry I don't have any information on birds and ingestion of amaryllis. Sounds like he should be OK though. Make sure he has fresh water and some food available. Tally HO! reference: A colour atlas of Poisonous plants and micromedix....See MoreWhat disease(s) and/or pest(s) are making my sedums sad?
Comments (9)Yeah I think you're right about the white; looked again today and it was gone. The scale on the last plant if there is subtle, but how about the numerous non-subtle brown spots, some of which look eaten into the leaf? Some kind of mite? If so, here's the combo I've come up with: Acephate - Amazon: "97UP 1lb bag Generic Orthene Insect & Fire Ant Killer" - http://www.ext.colostate.edu/pubs/insect/05507.html says "Insecticide with some effectiveness against spider mites. Systemic." Forbid 4F - eBay: "Free Forbid 4F Miticide Spiromesifen 1/4 OZ free gift when u purchase 3 pipettes" - "Like Avid, it is translaminar. The active ingredient, spiromesifin, while not systemic (i.e., it does not move through the plant’s vascular system like, for example, Merit does), is absorbed by the plant’s leaves and will move from the tops of the leaves to the bottoms where the mites feed." A lot of the more mainstream systemic products use Imidacloprid, and while they don't claim to work against mites, they also don't mention that one reason that spider mites become a problem is insecticides [such as Imidacloprid] that kill their natural predators....See MoreRelated Professionals
