I move it in and out of the sun as it seems to need it (it's indoors I don't think the uk would be viable for it to be outside). Most years it flowers about february, this year it decided to flower a second time in June!! I only have the one, but it decided to grow a seed pod and having read a lot of what's been written on DG, did not expect seeds to be viable, even if it set them. So here I am with a seed pod full to bursting with seeds and don't understand how it has manged to do this. Every one of them them has a discernable bump in them so I assume they are viable. Is it self fertilizing? From what I've read they aren't. I'm including a pic of the flower... How do I know which Amaryllis it is? How has it made seeds? Volric |
