You should see the double flowered versions!

ohh yes...the white ones are very lovely...I shall have to acquire myself a bulb of one...hehe

There is even one called Jade Serpent.

im gon eat it

~swats yur nose~ that would be bad for your health...

I'm still waiting for mine to bloom... I think it should be starting any time now!

if it hasn't in a long time, the trick is to let it hibernate. You just cut everything off an inch or two above the dirt, uproot the bulb, trim the roots back to about an inch from the bulb, and set it in the back of your fridge for 6 weeks. when you replant it, it should bloom every time. one of mine recently had a baby bulb on it and I am shy about doing this because I don't know if separating them will be a good thing yet...

I will keep this in mind, sounds like a good tip. Mine is actually a brand new bulb that I got as a Xmas gift from my mom, and I'm pretty sure it's never bloomed before, but I will double check with her!

if it hasn't bloomed since Xmas, definitely give it a nap in the fridge :)

Sounds like a plan! :3
Thanks for the info!

So pretty! I love to see them all lined up in the windows of peoples houses. In Florida my grandmother can actually plant them in the yard, *envy! *
Is the pot next to it a stick cactus? I have a few in tiny pots on my own windowsill!
Very nice!

yes I have a number of pencil cacti. I have a number of cacti in a window box next to it :). The other window has my avocado tree and another amaryllis. the other amaryllis I have had a baby. It needs to hibernate before it blooms again, but I don't know if I should separate the bulbs yet...

Neat!
hrmm I would say probably just best to leave it and separate it a week or so right before its 'hibernation'....kinda like how you divide bulbs in the fall.
Here I have little tomato babies all fuzzy and purple stemmed in a table top germination....which sounds much fancier then saying "in a dirty old clear plastic and wood box what a friend was throwing out and let me take"

hehe...Well The research says that you should n't separate them until they are roughly the same size. They are overdue for a hibernation...Perhaps soon, I will just hibernate them both together. I hope the baby survives. It seems like amaryllis are hard to kill...

i know the feeling i get that with my plants too
