The Chatty Amaryllis Coop (let's keep it going) #2

The other thread was getting a little long so I thought I would help Cat out and start a new one.

Susan, I would love to have some of your seeds, especially some of the Balck Pearl if you happen to have any left.

I need to get the pics off my camera of my newest blooms for you all to see.

Send me a dmail with your info and which ones you want. Black Pearl won't be ready for a couple of weeks.

Susan
=^..^=

Thanks Susan.

Here's Flamengo Star.

And here's Grand Cru.

yep!

Very pretty. Jeanette

Is anyone getting "sick" of these guys by now? LOL



very gorgeous pics

NEVER

Not until I get to see my Red Peacock. It is about to open. From my JUMBO bulb.

Jeanette

I still have 3 more to bloom.

I have a few more too!

I never get enough Amaryllis photos. For any of you that might not be aware, there is a special Amaryllis forum:

All my co-op bulbs have bloomed, but I still have others non co-op ones that I' m posting on the other forum.

Susan

Hi all. Thanks for starting a new thread Robin.
Well all 3 of my Picotees are reblooming! And the one that hadn't done anything yet, looks like it is finally going to grow.
All I have left to bloom is Aphrodite. Can't wait for those!

I think we definately want some Black Pearls in the next coops! gorgeous.

Hey Cathy, good to see you.

Grand Cru is still blooming and Flamengo Star has another stalk so does Star Gazer. My Romance is finally opening so I will get a pic of it when they finish.

Unfortunately Papillo pooped out on me so no seeds, I did stick the stalk in water hoping that will get it to finish developing.



Definitely we need Black Pearl.

I agree...BP are beautiful! If we can't find them with the company for the next coop, for the right offer I would be willing to do an exchange. Just something to keep in mind for the next coop. This pic is the second blooming and the one from Trader Joe's.

Very pretty Wineaux.

Jeanette

Susan I got the other seeds you sent. I am getting confused now, but I am sure you sent these. I will get them planted right away. The others are doing real good. Thanks so much.

Jeanette

which Susan? me or Wineaux?

You. Aren't you Susan? I didn't know Wineaux was Susan also.

Jeanette

LOL, yes, but I only sent you one package I 'think'

You are so right!! Goofybulb sent me another package. 3 different seeds (pkgs) Orange Sovereign crossed with Moonlight, Pasadena, and Jewel.

Some interesting mixes huh? Especially the Pasadena!! That will be fun.

Thanks for helping me clear it up. I had to thank Goofy.

Jeanette

Here are a couple of pictures of my Jumbo Red Peacock. It has 4 big flowers open and 2 other small ones that I doubt will be open before these are gone.

But, I thought that Red Peacock was a darker red than this. Could be the light. It might have been if it had gotten better light to grow in.

Jeanette

And one more. Jeanette

nice

gorgeous flowers

Beautiful. Yours looks about the color of Red that mine was. It's such a nice one.

although beautiful ... is this one really Nymph???

bloom on the other side

don't think so

That looks more like what I thought Dancing Queen was suppose to look like.

Jeanette

looks like they mixed em up... maybe... I didn't order dancing queen

Just my opinion. Jeanette

that does look like the closest in color

Boy, I have a smaller bulb, one I got on the coop, of Red Peacock blooming now and I had it under my HPS bulb. It is almost as big as all 4 of the ones on my Jumbo put together. Well maybe not quite. But that bulb HPS sure did make a difference. You all probably get sun and yours end up like this.

Jeanette

Red Peacock was one of my larger blooms. That one and Dancing Queen have been the largest so far.

Susan

I will try to get a pic of mine today. I can only imagine what my jumbo would have looked like if I had put it under the HPS light. It had 6 blooms on one stalk. The stock is about 1 1/4 inches thru. Real thick and stocky.

Jeanette

You gals and guys were busy posting! Well, I'm back and tomorrow I'll show you some pictures as well.

Beautiful flowers, everyone!

Cathy, I think that, if you let the vendor know about some specific cultivars that we're interested, we might have a better chance for them to stock those.
Robin (Robynznest), I've had the same sad experience with Papillio pollination. None of the Papillio flowers took, and neither did the varieties pollinated with Papillio pollen. Sad... there could have been such lovely babies!
Jeanette, you're welcome!

Hugs,
Alexandra
