Very pretty! I see that both of those scapes have 3 flowers, mine only had 2 and you've got at least 2 more scapes to open; something to look forward to! I"ve got 5 small bulbs in a pot and hopefully in a year they will look like yours!

I'm going to have to go out the GH an look at the H. Aulicum and see if there are any scapes peaking out....

Hi Pat,

They look wonderfully healthy and happy. You must be very happy, I sure would be.

Warm Regards,
Fred

Very lovely!

Thanks y'all. These are from seed I received from Allison in NSW Aust.

It is beautiful! It's on my list of future purchases, love the shape of the flower and the color, too.

Pat,

Just cocoa fiber? Do you start in the larger basket?

I just started them as any other Hippeastrum. Float to germinate, grow in light mix, up-pot till about gallon size. Then after success with growing papilio as an epiphyte, I planted the bulbs (between golf ball and baseball size) in a basket. I also have a cross between aulicum and papilio growing well in a basket.

Thanks Pat, I can't wait to see that cross!

Basket is no bad idea! How much light do You give them?
Me too! Want to see the crossing too.
Have a nice weekend!
