First blooms on Amaryllis grown from seed
 

Four years ago, an OB member pollinated her Amaryllis, sowed the seeds, then sent out tiny seedlings (just a few weeks old) to people who wanted them. One is now blooming for the first time; another has buds! :D I had/have no idea what they would look like.

I don't have any names for these. Blooms are huge, and are a nice salmon or coral color.

Thanks for looking :)

congrats !
I have just planted mine out. Any idea if the parent was the same colour as the bloom you have ? I read somewhere that with todays' hybrids very few bloom true from seed.

Finally!
They look pretty. What comes to my mind based on the color and pattern is Amigo and Vera.

thanks :) No, I have no idea what any looked like. I got a handful of seedlings - I'm not even sure if they are all the same, or if she crossed them out, or anything - Unfortunately I lost touch with the person I got them from :(

Yes, finally! I was becoming impatient! ;)

Cool, I will check out those ones. I'm mostly just happy to have some Amaryllis!

That's really neat and it is beautiful!

Looks great, not sure I would have the patience to grow them from seed, but it looks well worth it!

thanks silken, Rosie :)

It's been a long wait, but it's very exciting when things bloom after a long wait. I got passion flower seeds from the same person at the same time - took 3 years before I got any blooms - very exciting when I first spotted buds last year!

Lovely flowers, Sonya.

Thanks Ron :)

Love it, these are one of my favorite bulb originating (?) flowers. Thanks for sharing Sonya.
