Hippeastrum (Galaxy Group) 'Red Lion'

#amaryllis #amaryllis-red-lion #twoblooms #twomoretocome #lovelyflowers #winterblooming Put these in the dark from September to December and all three plants are doing well. The fourth is a baby bulblet so it will be another year or 2 before it blooms. ♥️

Picture perfect 👌

Thanks Debs. Such a pretty addition to brighten up my days. ❤️ @debs69

❤️❤️❤️

Really pretty Diane!

Thanks so much Richard 😄 @richard.spicer.7906

Pretty! You had great success wintering your bulbs. I gave up and threw mine away😒

Beautiful!!😍

Wow ❤️

Thanks Julie. So lovely to see a flower after 2 years. ♥️ @juliesgarden

Oh definitely 💯

Thanks Katy. I kept them in the closet an extra few weeks this year and hope things will start to grow. Good luck with yours. One of mine is on its third year. It bloomed all summer but no flowers last year. This is its last chance. The other two are from last Winter. 🤞🤞🤞 @gjones

Are you getting the frigid weather and snow? It is heading our way for Christmas. ❄️❄️⛄️🥶 @gjones

One of mine has flopped with no signs of a flower. The other has done nothing and I planted both at the end of October 🙄

That is too bad. They made it sound easy to get them to rebloom in the videos I watched but I guess I will see what happens with these. Next year I will just buy a new one. 🤷‍♀️ @vegandmore

Oh my goodness that is cold. Too cold to snow for sure. We have family coming here on Christmas Day but no one has far to travel. Just heard the weather forecast and we may get hurricane force winds and snow squalls. 😳 Stay warm Katy and Glyn also Abby and Linka. Hope it warms up for you soon 🥶 @gjones

😱🥶 @gjones

I did buy mine new which is why I’m disappointed 🙁

I would be too Christine. I had that happen once too. I ended up checking the roots and they had rotted away. I guess I overwatered it. Maybe there is hope for yours. 🤞🤞 @vegandmore

Did they rebloom last year?

These are from last Winter so this will be the first attempt to get them to rebloom. Mine from 2 years ago did not rebloom last year. I think I did not leave them in the dark long enough. 🤔🤷‍♀️ @kez001uk

@hkyfvr I remember now. The leaves did so well too 😐 I never have success getting them to rebloom but I do hope you will 🙏🏻

Thanks Kerry. Very good memory. The leaves did do well but no flowers. Even if one reblooms it will be a lovely surprise 🤞🤞 @kez001uk

@hkyfvr 🤞🏻🤞🏻 but no 👀 🤣

🤣😆 @kez001uk

#amaryllis #amaryllis-red-lion #cutoffplantstalks #lotsoflovelyfoliage #lookinghealthy #leaveswillfeedthebulb

Looks good even without the flower 👍

Thanks so much. 💚 @crabby58

Pretty how the leaves fan out like that 😍 mine just flop 😆

Thanks. Mine usually flop but this one surprised me. 💚💚 @kez001uk

Yes I probably will as my Minerva did so well last year outside. It did not flower again but I may not have let it rest long enough. I left it for 6 weeks. Some suggested 4-6 weeks and some 8-10. Hard to know. 🤷‍♀️ @gjones

That sounds good. I will be doing the same thing. Mine looked so much better when I put it outside in the summer. It grew lots of leaves which feed the bulb so I figure the only thing that I did wrong was to let it rest too short a time. My Minerva is still producing leaves so I may try to put it out a second summer. Not sure though. 🤔🤔 @gjones

I’ve got a floppy one with no flower- but I kept it inside so will try the outside tip too 👍🏻

What a gorgeous and rich colour❤

Lovely red, and loving the slightly darker centre ❤️

Thanks so much. I love the red colour too. ♥️ @kaigia

Thanks so much Richard. Just noticed that and I agree. 👍♥️ @richard.spicer.7906

Thanks so much. I kept my Minerva from last year and it has not produced any flower spikes either. Just a couple of leaves. It looked healthy too. Oh well. Had it out in the garden all summer and it grew so many leaves. I let it rest for 6 weeks in the dark with little water but to no avail. 🙁 @gjones

Beautiful ❤️❤️💛

Thanks so much. Love this plant. ♥️ @midnightgardener

#hippeastrum #amaryllis-red-lion #somanyblooms #lovelyflowers #tallandbeautiful

So many huge blooms!

First time I have had that many blooms. I have another one coming along with just one flower stem. This has the two which is great. ❤️ @richard.spicer.7906

Oooh lots of blooms. They look fab ❤️❤️

Thanks so much Chris. They have brought such nice colour to our Winter white. ♥️ @midnightgardener

#hippeastrum #amaryllis-red-lion #sotall #eightlovelyblooms

Thanks Charlotte. It is all from one bulb. Eight flowers ❤️ @charlotte

#hippeastrum #amaryllis-redlion #almostthere #takingitstime #mustbepatient

Thanks Katy. I am looking forward to seeing it fully opened. ♥️❤️😍 @gjones

Love that you are posting the different stages of her progress 👍😍

Thanks Thelma. It is probably because I was growing impatient waiting 🤣😂 It is nice to see the different stages though. ❤️ @crabby58

#hippeastrum #amaryllis-red-lion #abouttopop #whitelioninbackground

@hkyfvr I love your kitty 😊Too cute 😍

Beautiful❤amaryllis and Miss Lilly is so adorable trying to fit in her bed😻

Thanks so much 🤍 @Dragon_Warrior

Thanks Thelma. It is actually a scratch pad Lilly is on but she treats it as a chair to look out the window too. She has scratched it to bits. 😂 @crabby58

Any time now. Can’t wait Katy. 👍😍♥️ @gjones

Sweet Lilly😻

White lion! 😂😂 Queen of all she surveys.

You got that right. 😂🤣🤍😻 @novicegardenlover

#amaryllis-red-lion #looksreadytopop #flowersforchristmas

#anticipation. 😍 "hi Twinkle" 😻

Any day now. A nice surprise for Christmas. Could use a bright spot. Just found out that some of my daughter’s family tested positive for Covid. They are all quarantined. My son-in-law works at the Honda Plant. Quiet Christmas for all. 🎄🎄 @gjones

For sure. Twinkle says hi. She was less than impressed by the plant. 🤣😂 @crabby58

Oh no, sorry to hear that, Diane, were they vaccinated at least? Hopefully won't be as bad, supposedly. 🙏 they get well soon @hkyfvr

Best to stay safe 🙏 @gjones it will be just my hubby and myself and Trooper 🐾 as my daughter and son-in-law are not vaccinated. We are staying safe.

They were all vaccinated and my son in law had his booster too. Now it is spreading everywhere here. Scary. We are hunkered down for the long haul. Thanks for asking Thelma. You stay safe. 👍😍 @crabby58

We are staying home as well. At least everyone is vaccinated and my son in law has had his booster. My daughter gets her tomorrow. People all around are getting sick. Scary times. Stay safe if you are out there Katy. 👍😍 @gjones. Also thanks for caring. ❤️

Doesn’t look far off opening 😁❤️

Maybe tomorrow? Will post when it does for sure. 👍😃 @kez001uk

@hkyfvr please do 😁

#amaryllis #hippeastrum-redlion #gettingreadytoopen #lovelyredflowers

Looks so healthy💚

Got a couple of big ones there!💘😍

Thanks so much Thelma. This was a Walmart purchase. I bought another one at a greenhouse this week that will be pink. Love these. ❤️❤️ @crabby58

Thanks Shelley. Can’t wait for them to open. 👍😍 @ShelleySnyder

My pleasure! They are real beauties!💘😍

They had some at our local grocery for 7.99 🤔maybe, I should😁

You should Thelma. Mine brought me such joy last year. They are such big beautiful flowers 👍👍😍😍 @crabby58

😍I've never had one. Are they easy to care for?

They are easy to care for. You just have to plant the bulb, the pot and soil are included in the kit. Water lightly till it starts growing then water more. Water daily when it is flowering. They grow pretty quickly once they start. You just have to keep turning the pot daily as it will lean toward the light if you don’t. Easy peasy. 👍😍 @crabby58

Thanks Katy. So excited to see it bloom. 👍👍😍 @gjones

Sounding like a lovely plant to grow 👍 thank you @hkyfvr

#hippeastrum #amaryllis-red-lion #gooddeal #nicecolourfortheholidays

Thanks Katy. Hoping my Minerva from last year will bloom too. Love red for the holidays. ♥️♥️ @gjones

I’ve just planted mine, love the red ones. 😍

Thanks Sarah. Going to do mine this afternoon ♥️♥️ @sieveheadsarah
