I'm going to repot my Hippeastrum Aulicum at the end of this month, just before getting them back to growth after their summer dormancy, and have a 5 offsets available.  Some are already close to flowering size - perhaps one more growing season needed - others will take you probably 3 years of patience before displaying flowers.  Pm me with your contact details & shipping address if you want one of the offsets - the original bulbs come from the USA.  I don't need anything in return, but feel free to make a donation to the SRGC if you want to compensate in any way the shipping costs.  I will send the bulbs early September.

The picture below shows the flowers last winter - these should brighten up your home for Christmas.

Happy growing :)

Bulboholic, but with moderation.

Hippeastrum aulicum
Today the flowering season starts, two more buds are coming. The bulbs come from a gardener in Germany who told us that it stood in a corner of the greenhouse since the times of his grandmother. He even didn't know what it was. It seems to be a 'robustus' type because it makes lots of baby bulbs.
