I love peruvian daffodils. and just recently ordered some amaryllis from easytogrowbulbs.com, I was quite pleased with what I received from them.

What I've done in the past is have sensitive stuff shipped to my work address. I know that's not always possible for everyone though.

I have a P.O. Box so I am not worried about it sitting out in the cold, I am just worried that they may freeze on the way. What do you think?

Hello everyone,

I have the red with yellow gloriosa lily. Beautiful plant, loves to climb. Never got them to form seeds though. Do they form seeds??

Shawn not sure about shipping. your colder than I am.

Siam gloriosa does have seeds. Someone shared seeds with me.
I have started them, but they have not came up yet.
It's only been about a week.

Shawn if they are packaged well it should be ok. Try to order when in between cold fronts, lol. Yes I have gotten some seed of gloriosa lilly in the past as well I think it was from Eddie.

I may go ahead and order some of the peruvian daffs in between cold fronts. They are not that expensive so I won't be out a lot if they don't survive the cold. I just want to get a head start on them, not that I have room for more stuff being started indoors, lol. Yep I am still starting seeds even though I said I wouldn't and don't have the room.

Crossing my fingers for ya Shawn that your orders will make it unharmed by the cold. I am ready to start shipping out the EE's to the warmer zones too. But first the RR package goes out. Got it ready yesterday. I put the EE's in peat moss and then in plastic bags. poked holes in them for air. Now I will add peanuts..the floating kind lol.
You think that is warm enough or ok to ship that way?

Thanks for any advise

Shawn I'd wait until your temps are above freezing to be on the safe side. I've lost gloriosa lily tubers just from being exposed to cold temps overnight. I don't know how hardy Peruvian daffs are but the amaryllis should do fine, especially if they are shipped priority and packed well.

If I'm not mistaken, the peruvian daffodils need some chill time to set blooms. So as long as they don't freeze, the cold shouldn't hurt them.

Ryan

Hmmmmmmm.... I was just thinking its ONLY February so I guess I'll hold off until March or April. It will still be a little chilly but should be warmer than now. I definately won't be doing any ordering this week, last week would have been a good week to have stuf shipped but oh well. Thanks for the input everyone.
Shawn

Shawn, I have some seeds for peruvian daffodils if you would like to try some. I got them from my Aunt's plants last summer. Mine have never made seeds like that.
If you are interested, just email me. Linda

I agree to wait, are you in the RR trade? I put some amaryllis seeds in the box. Let me check to see if I
have more?

Thanks Linda but I heard the bulb needs to be pretty large before they will blooms so it would probably take a long time from seed and I don't feel like being that patient for them, lol.

KHT I am not in the RR trade but thanks anyways. Just curious though....how long do amaryllis take to bloom from seed?

Shawn

Shawn I saw some peruvian daffodills at my walmart today.

Mary

Oh Good! I remember seeing them there a few years ago along with the gloriosa lilies but did not buy any and wish I would have because they didn't have them last year. I'll be keeping my eyes peeled there for a while, maybe O won't even have to buy online.
Shawn.

pagrdnr, I have never grown them from seeds. These were sent to me to try, I have a couple extra if you want. Email me if you want them.

As I think about it more, Shawn, I guess I'm lucky I haven't had any issue with shipping Amaryllis bulbs for Christmas to family in Wisconsin. I send to several people each year up there. I guess maybe because they are shipped express they don't have time to freeze? Maybe I've just been lucky so far. Anyway, something to think about.
