Ron, that's pretty amazing. From one to two inches diameter in one growing season is far better than what is possible here. Our growing season is so short that I'm always trying to eke out growing time before and after cold temps. It's hard to think that nice weather is still a good four months away. That's why I love amaryllises - they keep me occupied this time of the year, and after they've finished blooming, spring is just about on the way.
