Hans your HIppeastrum are really gorgeous
Title: Re: Hippeastrum 2018
Post by: Hans J on February 15, 2018, 09:21:55 PM: Thank you Luca :)

I will try to make seeds for distribution

The pollination of my Hippeastrum striatum/petiolatum was succsessful ...fruit are ripening :D

From the Hippeastrum striatum Saltao is flowering only one clone ...but I hope my self pollination will work

I would like to have green thumbs, but I think the merit is to the good quality of seeds from Hans

Post by: Maggi Young on September 16, 2018, 01:29:38 PM: Looking good, Michael - always kept outside or do you take them in for winter?
Title: Re: Hippeastrum 2018
Post by: Michael J Barrett on September 17, 2018, 03:50:52 PM: Hi Maggie, these are in pots and I put under cover if lots of rain is forecast. They have done very well this year. I did put a bit more effort into feeding them when I fertilised the clivia at the same time.

Post by: jshields on November 15, 2018, 09:58:56 PM: Hippeastrum aulicum are blooming in the greenhouse. These were grown from seed from Mauro Peixoto in Brazil. They all seem to be trying to bloom at once. The individual bulbs are producing flowers that vary in form from plant to plant.

The bulbs that bloomed first are starting to produce seed pods, so there must be some bugs flying around in the greenhouse that I haven't seen.

How many years from seed to flower?

Regards
Title: Re: Hippeastrum 2018
Post by: jshields on November 20, 2018, 12:32:26 PM: I'm not keeping such detailed records anymore. I will have to poke around in those pots for plastic labels that have notes such as first bloom date. I'll guess the time to first bloom from seed runs 5 to 10 years, depending on species and origins.
