Amaryllis First Blooms part 2

Well, after waiting fro more than 2 years, finally my first Hippeastrum bulb grown from seed are open, but I'm still can't identify them.

It could be a cross seedling or their petal color not stable yet.
So far I love the white one, so elegance... did you agree with me ?
And have a slightly fragrance, can't describe it but it is smelt nice for sure





And here the other, she look like my old Ami, but the new one have a lighter color, or maybe will change later, next year.



Still waiting for others bloom, even the temperature has been upper 80'F at day, they growing slow or maybe because I check on them too often ? ha !

Update :
After waiting for a week, finally they blooming, small-bright red, so lovely...


Hope next year, most of my seedling will be start their first show.

My Amaryllis Seedling have Their First Bloom !

Last week, I found out that some of my amaryllis seedling have a budding, since than the first thing I do first in the morning is checking on them, it's really cheer up my days a lot....!

It is exciting want to know how's the flowers look like, because all their label was gone after I re pot them.

Almost 3 years ago, a very nice lady at Garden web gave me a lots of ami seeds, half of them not sprouting and half of the seedling not survived during the cool winter. But most of them multiply fast, even before they given a flower, so I quest, I have more than I need now. I'm thinking to give away some of them after I identify them, or perhaps I can trade it.

Here's the pics I took today, their first flowers smaller than my ami from store, maybe because their bulb also still tiny compare with my older ami.

This one probably Minerva, seedling from my own ami.
No she isn't, still don;t know what her name

I have no idea what it is, but love the color, red-pinkies
Buds looks so red, but she is my minerva baby

Will posting the others soon after their blooms bigger and get color...

And here's my Barbara Jackman H.F.Young Clematis blooms this year, so far she a good repeat bloomer from early Spring until early winter, love her him much. Will looking for another Clematis with other colors for my arbor




Aaaah... I love spring, the best season of the year !
