Hiya. My baby bloomed for the first time for me 2/16/10. I had this plant (Hippeastrum papilio) many years ago & lost it. Maybe I can get some pollen next year from people who have other Amaryllis and I can do some crosses. I did cross this plant with a white one I had. I love it and will try to keep it in the ghse. You know, I just got this plant last year & I think it was on eBay. I forget (more senior moments). What I did (cause I'm basically lazy), is to put a Jobe's plant food spike in the pot (two of them) and that helped this baby to bloom. It had a total of four blooms. The first two I have crossed with a white amaryllis and the 2nd two are crossed with each other.
