I posted this message some time ago (last one) about my seeds

The thread "Can Amaryllis Christmas Gift be crossed with Johnsonii??" in Amaryllis and Hippeastrum forum

now they are ready, Can you tell from pictures if they are good for planting ?

They seems really do... go plant them immidiately. Water float or just on top of moist soil sprinkled very lightly with tiny amount of medium. Keep us posted.

chilling is not needed ? I can plant them immediately ? Can I store them for later ? for how long ?

No, no chilling is needed, infact I guess they won't survive cold, as Hippeastrum are tropical.
I always sow immediately, but species seed I received from abroad (mostly Brazil) aged at least a moth, still grow perfectly.
Still I do not recommend both chilling or keeping for long term. However you can try for an experiment, and if you do, please report back since I also wish to know.

Reason I ask, because there is a very known seller in US, Amarilys man , that deal in amaryllis bulb ( I found him from youtube videos). I leaned a lot from his videos.

All seeds that he sells are refrigerated , here is example from his site.

Ahh... great then, perhaps keeping it cold and dry will prolong self-live of the seeds as many other seeds.
and it works for hippeastrum too, I shall try to do that too, so I can keep some extra seeds.

I see little "bumps" in those seeds, so they good to me. You may find this little article I wrote helpful: https://garden.org/ideas/view/...

I red it already, I just thought that seeds will be some bigger and heavier.

No, they are pretty paper thin and very light - yours look perfect.
