I crossed Rilona x Picotee and have a bunch of seeds. If anyone in the US would like some, please email me - it would be nice if you could send me 2 postage stamps to cover postage. It would take about 3 years for you to get a flower. Have made several crosses with Pictoee - trying to get a peach colored flower with the red picotee outline. Crossing Fingers! No idea if I am doing it right or not as I don't know that much about the genetics Shrug! But it is fun trying. Rolling my eyes.

My Amaryllis......25......are outside in a semi-shady area. They look much better then when we took them outside. Lots of new green leaves. I fertilized them this morning and will watch them until fall is here.....then a couple of months in a cool dark basement room and then the cycle will start again.

I agree Paul, I have found the colors are much more intense outdoors and the stalks are shorter!

It is suppose to be an Apple Blossom, but pure white works too I guess LOL. She's pretty, none the less.

Dan-- A gorgeous pure white double! That is extremely cool! Way better than Apple Blossom! I do love Apple Blossom but alot of places have AB for sale. Very few have double whites, anyway that's how it is in my neck of the woods!
I say Hurray! and you did a good job!

May you continue to receive many extraordinary blessings!

Wondering if the bulb will be able to recover since it will be going dormant soon? Another experiment! Smiling

My Picotee bloomed twice last year - once in early winter (indoors), and then again late summer (out on my patio). In October it went dormant. And then bloomed again when it came back out of dormancy this year. Hopefully it will be the same for you - I guess you find out. Rolling on the floor laughing
