That's a nice start. They should grow out to wonderful plants, but I have never seen these for real yet. Still I would like to try it too once. Where did you get the seeds?

Seed of Gethyllis namaquensis as it arrived on May 28th from Silverhill seeds. And the germinating seedlings on June 9th (apologies for poor photograph).

G. villosa (plus 6 other amaryllids) from the same package have also germinated - most had started to do so in the packet before it arrived.
