Im entranced, what an absolutely gorgeous flower! This will make a fine addition to my collection, hopefully i will be able to get one 😍

[@trishrestante3865]

Hope you find it!

[@wildlifegardenssydney7492]

This is so beautiful. Thank you for showing it and your description.

[@DownButNotOutYet]

Magnificent specimen!! Thanking for showing and sharing your most beautiful amaryllis. Have a gorgeous day. Kind regards.

[@trishrestante3865]

You're welcome. Thanks for watching. :)

[@sylvesterxue3472]

I'm not Hippe fun, but deeply love this one!

[@davidti7109]

It's now autumn here in the Pacific Northwest, USA. I have had my potted bulbs outside for the summer. Some of my bulbs are in leaf while some have remained dormant for most of the summer. I'm not sure how to get everyone on the same cycle. Suggestions. I've had this plant for years. It multiplies but has rarely bloomed.

[@trishrestante3865]

The most common reason Hippeastrum bulbs don't flower is because they are buried. About half of the bulb should be above soil level. They also take a few years to flower. They also need a bit of sun. Otherwise I'm not sure why yours is not flowering. Good luck. Hope it flowers next season.

It so beautiful!!!

[@barryswanson8181]

...hi Trish, it's nice to see a hippeastrum doing well outside , all of the videos I've seen show them growing in pots, indoors , I have recently bought my first bulbs and decided to take a punt and plant mine outside, I'm in northern NZ, so now my only concern is that our climate might be a bit too wet, time will tell. Barry.

[@trishrestante3865]

Glad you liked the video. Maybe mound the soil up to protect from getting overly wet. If you're in a frosty area it will need protection from frost as well. Good luck.

Very Beautiful, I like papilio.

I have amaryllis planted in my garden in tropical North Queelsnad with massive high foliage... Should I remove the leaves at any point?

[@trishrestante3865]

No. Doesn't need to be removed.

Glad you're happy. Yes, it's a treasure. :)

[@BBQNBLUES]

What a *GORGEOUS* specimen!! My 1 Butterfly Amaryllis is struggling :( Hoping it perks up this Summer while it spends time outdoors. Well, Fast Forward 2 years... I killed my 3rd papilio Will try 1 more time to grow this picky Beauty. 🤞

[@trishrestante3865]

Good luck. Maybe position in a different spot if that's possible.

[@BBQNBLUES]

@@trishrestante3865 I've let it acclimate a week (keeping it on the dry side) in it's original 1 gallon plastic nursery pot. Soil mix looks like a common CHEAP bagged potting soil. Bulb buried too deep too. Will repot into a Clay pot with a lot of Orchid bark for drainage/aeration. Hope this wasn't just yanked out of a field/bed & stuffed into a pot for sale.

[@stellav.demaldonado273]

Hola cómo la riega y que le pone a la tierra fertilizante o no????

[@trishrestante3865]

Hello. The hippeastrum in the video only receives a light application of good quality organic fertiliser in spring and autumn. :)

[@kleenex3000]

Thank you! You obtained seed, does this mean it is self fertile? The clone traded worldwide does not produuce seed after self pollination...

[@trishrestante3865]

Yes. I have read that. Thanks for that. When I propagated from this which I think, was originally seed from Brazil. The person who sourced it died before I started working at Camden Park. It produces true to type offspring. No visible variation. I have other species Hippeastrum here that don't produce seed.
