Every year I let them go to seed. They fall over and I get more plants the
next year. It does take a couple of years before they get to blooming size.
My bed of Amaryllis is needing some dividing. I plan to take them to the
nursing homes that my Mother and Mother-in-law currently reside in. Course
they grow in my garden, not in pots, as they are hardy here in FL.
