After a terrible year for the amaryllises last year, I have today repotted them, and added a new one that we received for Christmas. They were kept in the dark when they failed to die back at the end of last season, but the room they were kept in is too warm. I'm reluctant to put them in the garage, in case they get eaten - we sometimes have a mouse in our garage. Some are ready to go, others seem dormant still.
I am very surprised, but it looks like we will get some blooms. The pot on the far right contains the oldest bulb, now with two 'children', it is shrinking, so is unlikely to flower in its own right.
The new one is in the pot in the middle, as you can see it is almost grown.
they are now in their 'wet' phase, and must be kept flooded for a couple of days.
