OK...so I just walk around with a paint brush and collect pollen and put it where it looks welcome... and this is the first bloom of a bunch of seedlings. NO CLUE what the cross is. But I think its lovely...the frilly edges, and the coloration. So...if I want to replicate this...seeds? pups? Too stupid for tissueculture!![]() It's all about choices. |

Congrats, that's a very nice color. I'm pretty new to Amaryllis, but I think the only way to get a true replica is pups or division of the bulb. ![]() |

Cool. and Congratulations. Nothing that's been done can ever be changed. |

Margaret is right of course.The seedlings will be genetically different BUT,if self pollinated,should be near replicas of the parent plant.If you want to name this one and spread it around I would wait for offsets. |

Nice one! How long was it from pollination to bloom? |

Gosh, freddy...I don't know. But I've put some seeds to germinate...will keep track of the time.... I've had about 50 seedlings bloom and it's such fun!!! So many variations....! It's all about choices. |
I really like the edges of the bloom on this cross: Gives it an elegant appearance. |

Beautiful!! I have several pots of seedlings, may I ask you what size your bulbs are before you separate them into pots of their own? Thank you. |
