The reports are coming in....Linville amaryllis (amarylli?) are indeed blooming! A few years ago, Kay sent me an email: The Amaryllis is blooming! I think hers may be the early bird of the family, although if that's not right, someone will let me know.
Tonight Kay and Don sent an e-mail with these three photos attached. Don reports that they have 4 bulbs in one pot, producing 6 stalks among them. Last year, they saved seeds from one of the blooms (how they manage to pollinate, indoors, is an untold story) and started some baby plants from seed--there are 10 in the pot below. An amaryllis nursery?
Thanks, Don and Kay, for the photos, and also for reading the blog. I wish someone in the family knew the story of how Mom Linville came to have this amaryllis in the first place. Does anyone remember?
