Wow, I did not know that aleksandar. Great information. As was this entire thread.
Meanwhile you all provided me with a chuckle or two.

Now to go cut all the stems on my Amaryllis/Hippeastrum to see which they are. Whistling

I agree Great information from @aleksandar. Thumbs up

Can I wait until they finish flowering before I cut the stem? Or should I grab a cut glass vase and make a pleasing arrangement for the table. Thumbs up Just kidding.
