Amaryllis from seed ?
« on: February 20, 2014, 19:30 »
Hi Everyone.
My other half was given an Amaryllis Hippeastrum Minerva bulb kit for Christmas, she followed the instructions on the packet & had great success with it, it has now finished flowering & the instructions tell you what to do to keep the bulb for next winter but when she cut the flower heads off she noticed what looked like a seed pod at the base of each flower.
Our question is. Is it a seed pod & if so can these be grown from seed.

I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days all attack me at once...

Hi Yorkie
Many thanks for that link, very helpful.
I think we will prob' give the seeds a miss & just attempt to keep the bulb
as we only live in a 1 bed bungalow & don't have space to grow something
for 6 yr's before it will flower again.
