As long as I'm thinking about amaryllis, here's one I find very interesting this year -- Sumatra.
I bought a bulb of Sumatra this past March, when it was on a late end-of-season sale at Easy to Grow Bulbs. Here it is, blooming at the end of June with Opal Star (which I bought in the same sale):
Okay, so the end of June was just three months ago, right?
So here's pics of the same Sumatra today:
Look at all the growth and all those offsets!
I'm so proud of this bulb -- such a tough bugger. It really wants to make a colony, and quick.
Has anyone else had similar experiences with Sumatra or other cybisters? I do have a couple of other cybister varieties, but I haven't seen this in the others -- at least not yet!
