    They are beautiful! My amaryllis are done blooming. I did do some pollinating myself. Have seedpods now. Sorry I can't help. I'm sure someone will.

    I noticed that bulbs are on sale around here so I might get a few this weekend and you are welcome to the pollen when they bloom.

    I only have the plain ones- Appleblossom, Grand Cru, Flamingo Star & Minerva. I have a bunch of these that are just starting to sprout. Red Lion is the only one blooming right now & I can get pollen from it today if you want it (I doubt you're interested but I'll offer).

    Linda is Flamingo star pink or orange? With the name you would think pink but the pic on the box looks orange. That is one I was thinking about getting. Also grand cru and pink diamond. They are on sale for $4 and they come with a nice planter and disc of soil that expands in hot water. I may pick up one or two of the ones for $2.50 as well.

    It's kind of a salmon color. Not pink, not orange.

    Now that is cool. I didnt realize there was a varigated one. I LOVE VARIGATED PLANTS. I have to have this one. What color does it bloom? Ive got to go reasearch this one.

  • 17 years ago

    I think I have seen that on ebay..I think it may have been your auction, and the same pic? beautiful! I am a sucker for variegated anything!

  • 17 years ago

    Thanks Eddie, that is cool. Was this a pup (is that what its called?) that split of from an amaryllis you had or did it come from seed?

  • 17 years ago

    jumping4joy,
    this one should bloom like the butterfly. i think there is several other variegated amaryllis out now . just too costely$$$$$$$ for my budget .

    daniellalell, i have never sold these on ebay. i hope someone has not borrowed my pics again .

    pagrdnr, i have 2 like this that are pups, and i have one that passed away, i grew from a seed. for some reason , one of the seed pod produced , green babies , albino babies and a few variegated babies .
