Thanks Moli, it's the first time I've grown an amaryllis....I was beginning to wonder when the stem would stop growing

Shame yours died, was it a new bulb?

Amazing Mags and such a pretty shade. Sorry to hear about yours Moli.

No it was one I have had for a couple of years, always bloomed till now, think maybe lack of watering had something to do with it

Absolutely stunning, Mags! That's a lovely double; love amaryllis as they're so spectacular and easy to care for!

Moli, are you sure it's dead and not just gone dormant because of lack of water?

According to my son, its dead DM, did tell him to give it a small amount of water....knowing him, he will drown it!!

Don't throw it out just yet, may surprise you and revive. Some of mine stay green when I bring them inside for the Winter, others lose their leaves and look quite dead for a bit, but do leaf out......

Love the colours. I've never tried one - always thought they were difficult?

It's the first time I've tried growing them CM and they really are easy I also have a red one in bud but I don't think the flower will break through for another week or two......
