I have what I think is a seed pod (growing fat after flower bloomed) how can I start new flowers from this pod?Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17881180715875002605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14573299.post-25860882896339156852014-03-08T08:50:51.404-06:002014-03-08T08:50:51.404-06:00I brought out my 4 year old bulb from the closet a...I brought out my 4 year old bulb from the closet and started it a few weeks ago. All I get now are the leaves. I think it is worn out. If I want to cut the bud like in your video, shall I wait until the leaves are browned? Cut them off? Do I need to leave the bulb rest another season?Lauriehttp://www.laurieleehane.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14573299.post-17545467758607581792012-02-18T22:25:02.841-06:002012-02-18T22:25:02.841-06:00Hi, this is so helpful!

But, I'm afraid that I have done something drastic by pollinating it earlier. Will it still produce seeds? What should I do? Thanks so much!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14573299.post-79041798602329607662010-01-25T23:00:50.361-06:002010-01-25T23:00:50.361-06:00Hi HippieAtHeart,

By then the roots should've developed sufficiently, and you'll have higher success rates.MrBrownThumbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11326733084344581944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14573299.post-85278310133549251112010-01-25T22:42:34.708-06:002010-01-25T22:42:34.708-06:00Hi, first off your blog has been very very helpful...Hi, first off your blog has been very very helpful to me in my playing in the garden adventures but I have a question. I grew a bunch of amaryllises from seed (more grew then I expected) and now I want to give a couple to my grandmother but I am hesitant to repot them because the last ones I popped out of the little flat they were in died promptly afterwards. I don't want to give her the entire flat and I want to put them in a pretty pot because it will be her birthday present. Any thoughts on how I should go about it and or what I did wrong the first time? thanks a bunch.HippieAtHearthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00420489045652504263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14573299.post-9710210146013362642007-02-24T07:02:00.000-06:002007-02-24T07:02:00.000-06:00I just wanted to tell you that your pictures are o...I just wanted to tell you that your pictures are outstanding!Angiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13215149456990674559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14573299.post-12784092097659602232007-02-23T18:53:00.000-06:002007-02-23T18:53:00.000-06:00Hey DS,Yeah they're easy to do too.

You just have to figure out what the seeds need.<BR/><BR/>BTW you can store pollen from Amaryllis bulbs similar to how you store pollen from DayLilies. So if you have plants that aren't blooming at the same time then you can always cross pollinate.MrBrownThumbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11326733084344581944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14573299.post-18109784681692220262007-02-23T16:04:00.000-06:002007-02-23T16:04:00.000-06:00You got me excited in trying to do this myself. I ...You got me excited in trying to do this myself. I don't have many amarylis at all or if they'll even bloom.<BR/><BR/>I do have quite a bit of lilies that bloom. I wonder if it's easy to pollinate them too.<BR/><BR/>But what I worry about is that once I get the seeds, what if I do a terrible job in growing them? At least I figured out that the hibiscus seeds have to be planted as soon as the pods open because they just don't last long at all. I planted many seeds two years ago but only two appeared to be viable and grew.DragonStonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06166365391281481870noreply@blogger.com
