I pollinated an amaryllis and grew the seeds, it's 15 years old now, still blooming and lives constantly on one south facing window sill in zone 7. She always blooms for me and is producing a second bulb now.☺️

I fell in love with these when I packed bulbs for a major bulb producer decades ago. I sent them to my mom & sisters for years. My daughter was little at the time & though she's grown now, she STILL calls them "grandma-ryllis" 😆
I'm in N. Georgia & let mine be outside in their pots through the summer. This year, I let one stalk go to seed & now have tiny babies growing! They're just one little leaf, will probably take forever to reach bloom size but, what the heck, why not??
Brought mine in before it got too cold, I don't care when they bloom either, always welcome blooms whenever they appear!

Laura, it was so sweet to see you doing your projects in bare feet and slippers. You're so down-to'earth and unpretentious. Thank you for always keeping it real. You inspire me to follow your example without making me feel bad about myself because I can't replicate the flair and scale of what you do. You brighten my life.

Mine are planted in the garden and they bloom in the spring. But I did have one bloom this in July. Very unusual here in zone 7. I do plant them up to the almost top of the bulb. I have had these bulbs for over thirty years. If I move they come with me. I have moved over the years at least eight times. My dad gave me the start of them he lived at the time in Florida. My bulbs have been in Florida, Texas, Georgia, North Carolina. Have done well in all of these locations.

Laura I don't know if you ever see comments being busy as you are but I hope you know how much you have blessed my life with your channel and well....your heart. You are good people and I am so thankful that i found your channel. Rest up. You keep saying you are late at it but hey what does it matter when they bloom...you will enjoy them no matter what month it is. God Bless

Laura, you have mentioned that your bulbs bloomed in the summer. When they are planted outside they usually bloom in May-June. That is their bloom time in nature. If you want to grow them outside it is posible in colder climates. Next year you can plant your plants from pots in ground after the last hard frost, and treat them like every other plant. In autumn you need to wait frost to kill amaryllis leaves, and then you dig them up, cut the roots and store them somewhere where the temperature is 10C (50F). And then you just wait spring to plant bulbs in ground normal. Just plant them like every other bulb (the top of the bulb 4-5 inches deeper than ground level). And then same process in autumn with digging them up. Bulbs can tolerate temp down to -6C (20F), some varieties can tolerate temps down to -12C (10F). So you can plant them earlier in the spring when it is safe. They grow better when they are planted outside than in pots.

Can’t wait to see this pot bloom, it is going to be a show stopper.

You could use the wire racks for air plants, later!

I have one. My husband gave it to me last December bloomed. It was so beautiful. I planted it and it has 6 large leaves. I live west coast Cali. I am going to put it in the garage and force it to bloom.

You ma'am have inspired me so much this last year. I found amaryllis bulbs at lowes, so yes I purchased one. Yes just one. It was the Minerva variety. I got it planted in the coco shredd they provided and 3 small leave and 1 12 inch flower stalk later. I'm so excited to see it bloom.
Thank you for all your inspiration in this crazy crazy year. ❤⚘❤

I just love a amaryllis. I am fortunate enough to have all mine grow in my yard( in Louisiana) and every spring I have a magnificent show of flowers. Years ago I started with a few and now I have to many to count cause they just keep spreading. It’s never gotten so cold here that I’ve lost any! If it gets in the teens I just cover them with cloth for the duration of the freeze! My favorite flowers in the spring!

[ramikhirfan]

They are the Queen of all bulbs, they multiply and tolerent to all weather condition and a superb multiple bloomings around the year 👌

[michelecolvin]

I plant amaryllis and paper whites. My first time trying to force bulbs indoors. It's awesome to watch the growth everyday.

[juliedorey]

Can't wait to see them bloom. I have an amaryllis outside that I replanted from my mother's yard after she died and it blooms in the spring. It's beautiful red and white striped blooms 😍

[gevang]

It is so...beautiful of the snow wax upside down, they are sooocute Amaryllis wax.

Zone 6 here (southern Illinois).
Planted mine outside in a kinda protected area two years ago.
They survived last winter and bloomed beautifully this late spring.

I have been sharing these very same bulbs for years. I was given from my family years ago. At least 4 generations now. I love their blooms!

[sydneykasmar]

I love flowers growing in my home in January and February - especially Hyacinths with all their beautiful scent. Thanks Laura for always taking us through the Amaryllis process. It has a strange way of seeming daunting yet it's so much easier than Pointsettas. Loved the update on last year's waxed Amaryllis and would love to see where you tuck these plants into your garden in spring. 🌷🌷🌷

[brief]

Surprisingly I found the exact amaryllis your planting a few days ago, and obviously picked up a couple. Turns out they must not look at their stock very often because I got 2 that had stalks at least 7 or 8 in tall! And they were all bent over in the box, one being almost 90degrees!
I was so concerned I had to buy them and take them home. It's been 3 days and thankfully theh have pretty much fully straightened up.
1 of them actually has 2 bloom stalks and the other possibly was producing a second bulb (pointed downward, but already had a leaf, I generally separated and planted it next to mother considering I didnt think it would do well being planted under the soil) you can already see the reds of the bloom coming in.
I talk to them, rub their leaves, and encourage them a couple times a day. I feel like it helps putting out the positive energy for them to grow strong and amazing.
