A few years ago, I purchased several amaryllis bulbs - which bloomed beautifully in late winter.
When they finished blooming, I cut off the flower stalks and continued watering them.
Then, in spring, I transplanted them into slightly bigger pots and left them outdoors on our front deck, out of direct sunlight. I kept watering them until September or October, when I cut off their leaves,, removed them from soil and kept them in s paper bag in the basement for 8-12 weeks before replanting them in pots of fresh soil. I put them near a window and started watering them again...
I did the same a few months ago to these two bulbs. They're currently sitting outdoors.
But I've noticed something very puzzling!!
One off the pots has a second plant growing in it!!
Is this a seed that blew in and self planted?
Is it a "side shoot" off the amaryllis bulb in the pot?
Or is it a plant that was hidden in soil from another plant, soil that I used to fill this pot??
I'm curious to see what will develop!
