Are all your amaryllis bulbs taken? If not, I am very interested to trade for about 3 bulbs. I have tuberoses and red spider lily as well as bearded iris if you are interested in those.

Do you have a pic of your plant in bloom. I got the bulbs and the
Travelled well but don't look like hippeastrum. Something in the anaryllis family yes, but not hippies, which I assumed.

they were sold to me in a pot very packed with bulbs , as peach Amaryllis . I have had them for two years and they have never bloomed , I am assuming because they were so packed in the pot. when I bought them from pic of the flower in a book and the pot was numbered accordingly to the book . I bought them in Florida . I have several in the ground right now hoping I get a bloom this year. If I do I will send you a pic. The lady I bought them from was very organized and had tons of plants , I dont think she would have went thru the trouble of the book and all the pots numered to the book if thats not what she was selling .....

Ladyblues, pls send me a pic if and when they bloom. I would agree with you that if somebody has some kind of reference system, chances are good that it is what it says it is. Being crammed in a pot might have stunted their growth, no biggie, easily correctable. I was looking at some of my amaryllis offsets and some of them do look like what you sent so....As soon as the rains and mosquitoes let up a bit, I will plant my nice bulbs. Thank you for the trade. I have a bed full of amaryllis bulbs in all kinds of oranges, (peach, orangey red, etc) and it is a sight each spring. I am looking forward to these bulbs further enhancing my spring show.
regards,

If the amaryllis were offshoots or from seed it may take five years for them to be mature enough to bloom.
