Might try one for next Xmas then. I do love seeing them as they are such spectacular flowerheads. |

Oh do, CM. they are so rewarding. I'm a real amaryllis nut; give the pre-potted ones as gifts at Christmas and always buy another one for myself; must have about 8 now. And they rebloom with minimal care, at least here where they Summer outside. I have two new ones where the bud is just peeking out of the top of the bulb; can hardly wait to see the blooms! There will be pics! |

Wonder if I could start off one now? - if they're given as xmas pressies I can't be too late? |

You certainly could! Probably won't bloom in time for the day itself, but how lovely in bleak dreary January to have them flowering. I'm referring to starting from the bulb; however you can buy them already started and in bud at garden centres/nurseries, etc. Our Whole Foods market has them in bud now! |

Well, went to garden centre today and bought three! Decided to give one to my Mum as part of her Xmas - so hers is called Christmas Star. For myself I got two bulbs, Picotee and Nymph. They had quite a few varieties so I was spoiled for choice. Planted them up and they are on Kitchen window sill. Fingers crossed they do for me. |

I'm sure you and your Mum will be delighted with them CM... Here's mine today, all the buds have now opened. The smaller one still in bud beside it is a red one....  |

They look stunning Mags, I wanted a red one as my Grandpa used to have one like that but it was about the only colour they did not have. If they do ok then maybe next time!! |
