What went wrong?

It's an Amaryllis btw.

At least you've got the flower so it could be worse!

An award winning mutation that will make your fortune?

That's true. I do feel guilty nough. Daughter gave it to me. #badmotheralert

Be proud jings I've tried three times to grow one an not a flower in sight.

I think it was a half price one that your daughter gave you - so it's her fault really!!

So glad you told me, jings cos I was wondering! Maybe it's just a new
dwarf...oops vertically challenged strain that none of us have seen before!

Yes kitty, it was probably 'reduced'...

Love the colour. What was the variety called?

Mine has grown into a health looking plant, but no sign of a flower yet..... any idea where I have gone wrong?

Seriously though, you do get dwarf varieties these days and they don't fall over the way tall ones do. I had one for Christmas about 3 years ago and it had 3 flowers in bloom at one point, it was beautiful. I just kept turning it every time I spotted it leaning towards the light. I never have much luck with indoor plants, but if I saw another dwarf one, I'd buy it.

Mine was the Apple Blossom variety a bit like this one, but I only had 3 flowers and it was even shorter. I did say I wasn't good with house plants!

Oooops! Pressed the wrong button again

It's on it's second flower now, and another one coming along. Yes. It dawned on me that it could well be a dwarf one!

Sorry esspee. I can't remember what the variety was called.

I have tried getting two years out of them but they need a lot of care with drying out and chilling episodes before they flower again.

Wilma that "Apple blossom" is superb.
