I have no use for internet bullies!

The seedlings - about half of them did not survive being planted in the tray. The other half look good but are a bit camera shy.

@mcash,
It has taken me a while to get back to this thread. Yesterday and today I learned that what I have been calling 'Amaryllis' is a Hippeastrum and the common name is Amaryllis.

Took me a while to adjust. The label with the bulb said only 'Outdoor Garden Amaryllis Red and White'. Since I cannot find an Amaryllis or Hippeastrum with the name 'Red and White' do you think this really is a Minerva? I have not added this plant to my list here on ATP because I was unsure. I did not see a generic entry for unidentified Hippeastrum, so do you think it's safe to say that my plant is a Minerva?
