Wow! I never grew amaryllis from seed. Keep us posted when they bloom!

Awesome. What precious little shoots. And what a great idea to pollinate and plant the seeds

Very nice seedlings. How long from germination to bloom? I sometimes plant daylily seeds and I usually get bloom in a year.

Elaine

Usually two years and sometimes longer. Some people say, "two years!" I say, two years goes by whether I plant them or not. :)

What a great philosophy!

I thought of that this year when I saw a seedpod on my Rainbow Plumeria. If I'd've saved last year's seedpod, I'd probably have babies by now, instead of thinking how long it takes for the seeds to ripen.

Are the pink amaryllis harder to come by? I don't think I've ever seen a pink one. Do you have any pics of these babies in your garden?

Thanks Susie

Yes, pinks amaryllis were very hard to find at first. So often I would purchase a bulb labeled Vera and when it would bloom, dang if it didn't become Minerva!

My flowers vary from hot pink to bubblegum pink to light pink to appleblossom to salmon/coral pink. Here are some photos:

WHERE are you located that you can put these in your flower beds? I have some seedlings...about 30 of them. I did not artifically pollinate my amaryllis...it just had the seed pod swell and when it was ready to drop I opened it and found the seeds. I need to find out how to handle these little ones. They are in little pots 1 or 2 to a pot. About 2 inches tall. Any advice??? I live near Pittsburgh...so they cannot be outside all winter.
