The papilio that my daughter-in-law gave me in 2012 divided in three last year; this year one of the three bulbs rotted from the top. I hope the other two will be okay. It gave me one seed pod in 2012, so it will live on after a fashion even if the other two keel over.

That other hippeastrum that I thought I'd saved fell out of its pot. Lovely green leaves but no roots. I am planning to try cutting a slice off the basal plate, cutting back its leaves, soaking it in fungicide, and leaving in the back house to cool off in a dark place. At least it birthed a lot of seeds before collapsing.
