hello, i have some hippeastrums (and three amaryllis belladonna): splash(not confirmed), lemon lime, magic green, a noid double red(nod confirmed), red lion x self(5 seedlings), a white or light miniature(probably hadeco variety), and last but not least: hippeastrum reticulatum var. striatifolium(1 bulb and 1 clump of 3 of 4 bulbs, they have a pure white stripe, so probably not hybrids, but a natural variety)
and ordered 3 extra striped hippeastrum reticulatum. i hope those are hybrids, because that would make it easier to let it flower and hybridize further.

lemon lime




h. reticulatum:

Welcome to the Amaryllis forum. You certainly have an impressive variety of bulbs.

Thanks, i'm now waiting to get an flowering hippeastrum reticulatum so i can cross it with other hippeastrums. If that gives any viable seeds i will grow all of the ones with a stripe on the leaf

snarfie. You sure do have a lot of plants!

Indeed mcash, about 150 plants inside, and loads of plants outside: about 50 varieties of sempervivums, some colocasia's, some fuchsia's, and loads of other plants. I have 3 gardens, helped with designing about 12 gardens, and i am 17 years old.

Wow, that's pretty good for such a young gardener. May I ask if you are male or female?

Male, i am into plants for about 10 years already, and now almost only use english to get information about plants, because in dutch i can't get enough specific information about certain plants and plant genuses. Learned english mainly from reading on forums etc. and studied about plants for the past seven years. I am now also doing an experiment with cacti: trying to get a virus to become transgenic, by grafting onto a contaminated stock. So i really want to do something new, to create something. I also write poems, and now a little book

Your English is very good and it's obvious you were born to grow and work with plants. Do you have plans to become a botanist in the future? I bet you would make a good one.

Well, my specialty is to reproduce plants, i have even propagated two roses by keeping them in water outside all year long(that was because i had a bet with someone that i could do it). I think i am also interested in plants because my grandpa was a real plant lover. And i always like to really think about the nature of things, to think about everything on the next level.

Hey there snarfie! Glad to see you here too in the Amaryllis forum!

Love your collection!
