planemad Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 (edited) I have been given a number of these flowers. They grow from an onion like bulb whilst the stem and leaves resemble those of a daffodil. The flower as you can see is Orange, but I believe there are other colours available. My plants have been growing in shaded surrounds and have been blooming for about 6 weeks. I would like any information that might help me to grow these plants.

Popular Post tifino Posted April 24, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 24, 2021 That pot looks like it's getting quite overcrowded in Bulbs... Once those flowers have died off, await until the green fronds have all died back; and then carefully remove all the bulbs. Put extracted bulbs into say a cardboard shoe box or bag and put away in dark for a coupla months... (waiting for the fronds to dry back is better than simply cutting them all off - as it will then give the Bulb to re-absorb all possible nutrients back from those green parts) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post cooked Posted April 25, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 25, 2021 Commonly known as Amaryllis, this is a https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hippeastrum . The colour that you have is the one seen most commonly in Thailand, we have other colours, raised from seed, as well as bought, and they don't bloom so easily. The advice about putting them in a dark cupboard verges on superstition, this isn't Europe and these aren't tulips. We always have a few blooming and only repot when a pot gets broken or they haven't bloomed for a year or two. You may want to install the Plantnet app, pretty good at id-ing plants. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jak2002003 Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 I used to grow the larger bright red ones, and striped ones, each Christmas back in the uk. It was a tradition. That pink colour seems the most common here....and I have seen there is also a variety the same colour that is all shredded up into a ball and looks like a pompom.

RhodeIslandRed Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 Yes this is a Spring Lily and grown about the time of early April....It is not an Amaryllis as they grow only around Christmas time and have a much thicker stem and not so fragile.

planemad Posted May 6, 2021 Author Share Posted May 6, 2021 I think the above comments have pretty much nailed the identity of this flower, many thanks again for all the responses. Just out of interest, I stumbled upon plantnet.org which found the plant immediately, and sure enough:Hippeastrum puniceum (Lam.) Voss - Amaryllidaceae - Barbados lily ORHippeastrum striatum (Lam.) H.E.Moore – Amaryllidaceae - Striped Barbados lily, take your choice. So, thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
