Sorry for the late follow-ups on the first two comments.

The offsets should flower within 2-3 years.

@ Anonymous from May 11th: hope you had success with yours.

Sounds like you chose the right place to retire too if you want to grow some Amaryllis bulbs. The climate seems to agree with them and the people seem really generous to share their plants. Enjoy your plants.

Thanks for providing such an informative site about Amaryllis and especially how to pollinate and collect the seeds.
I retired and now live in the Philippines and began obtaining different colors of Amaryllis about a year ago. I had no expertise, but my original plants have already bloomed twice, and I have so many babies already. When the new offsets produce leaves about 9-10 inches, I break them off and replant. This quickly, my original dozen plants have doubled in number. I don't know if it's the climate, or that I have such fast growing and hardy plants, but they impress me continually. I have bought a few (red, orange, and pink), got 2 from a friend (white with pink), talked the owner of a restaurant into giving me 2 bulbs from his white Amaryllis display, got a red with white stripes from another guy, and most recently a double flower from a man with an Amaryllis garden (this last already has 2 offsets with leaves).

Now that I have read your instructions on pollination, I am anxiously waiting new flowers (I think within a month) so that I can start experimenting with my colors.

Thanks again for your great site,

Thank you! I was wondering what the seeds would look like as this is the first time I've let a bloom form the seed pod. Good to know what to do with them also! I hope this is a hybrid and I get a variety. The surprises will add interest to growing these beauties.

At what age will the offsets begin to flower?
