Hippeastrum experiment

lblanchardI have now raised some hippeastrum from seeds to maturity, from flowers I hand-pollinated myself in May 2006. The seedlings are the four stalks on the left, and sad little spindly things they are, too. I think it may be because the bulbs are still young -- out of 32 seedlings I apparently only have four blooming so far. I won't let any of these barely pubescent plants get pregnant.
The ones on the right are my three mature bulbs. The actual parent plant is hidden behind the one showing a flower-stalk -- that's one of its offsets to the left of the big one.
