Amaryllis in the Shade
The difficulty with propagation is that sometimes it works. You then end up with hundreds of young plants and no idea what to do with them. Our Amaryllis bulb produced seeds a couple of years ago, so just out of curiosity I tried to grow them to see what would happen, by the "California method" i.e. Soak them in a bowl of water. To my amazement most of them germinated, so I potted them on, and loads of them came up. So we now have a windowsill full of baby Amaryllis. I believe we may need to wait seven years for them to flower, but after the Paeony Sulk we are prepared for anything. We also still have Mummy Amaryllis, just rescued from a corner of the greenhouse where she had been languishing over the winter and growing strongly. Hope she'll be proud.
