Amaryllis seeds?

How to grow amaryllis from seed?

Answer:

Hello, I have several of these myself and a couple of them have nice healthy seed pods on them, I hand pollinated them to see what would happen. I found out that these Amaryllis bulbs we buy at the store are not truly amaryllis bulbs but they are Hippeastrum bulbs. I will add my source below. The article I read is to use the floating method. I will try this when my seeds are ready. From what I have read it takes a couple years for these seeds to develop and flower. Hope this helps.
If its worn, cracking, dry, or bulging out the sides, then it should be replaced. If not, then its fine.
The safest way to determine your tread wear limit is to find out what it is from the tire company. Then head to your local motorcycle shop and get a tread wear gauge. As in this manner you can get a unmistakable picture of how worn your tire really is.
Amaryllis are a verry easy flower to grow. Simply go to your local nursery or the garden section of home depot and by a bag of amaryllis bulbs go home and stick them in some dirt, water frequently and watch them grow. Amaryllis grow from bulbs.
Don't cut the flower stalk down, hand-pollinate from a different flower if you like. Let the seed pod swell. When it seems to start to die (the pod will start drying and turning yellow), open it up and remove the seeds. Plants the seeds. It will take some years for them to grow into a bulb and get big enough to make a flower, and you won't know what the flower will look like (it will not be a duplicate of the mother flower, but a hybrid). Might be fun to try, though - just to say you did it. You'll need a heck of a lot of patience.
