    I think I should open some business!
    I had pots with these Hippeastrum (the orange-reddish type which I call "common") and I separated the bulbs and re-planted the bigger ones. Got 20 pots. Still have a few dozens of smaller ones that I am not going to pot.

    Hi Calin,great crop there, I am sure you will find them some good homes, because they are so lovely.I wanted to mention that I grow them from seed, they take a bit longer to flower but there is 'thousands' of seeds in 1 pod.So maybe you could have a business, do you have different colours?

    This is pretty much what I've got. And a bit closer to orange.

    There are so many different colours, I only have a few.One of my favorites is reticulata...with a striped leaf, the flowers are sort of pinky red stripes, but I love the leaves better.

    This one never looses the leaves and sometimes flowers twice a year.

    Yea. I know. There are way too many kinds, hybrids... etc. White, red, pink, striped, single, double, etc...
    I love yours. And yes, the stripe on the leaves is too cool :)
