But we have what we call an annual spring drought here, so perhaps that's why. The young bulbs don't bloom, though. Only the oldest, largest bulbs throw off flowers.

What an inspiration you are!) Maybe there has just been too much rain! When mine did flower it was a dry season and in an area that never got watered.africanaussiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16660727599623626163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1578069567609242972.post-30477535377285559732010-09-20T08:40:05.909+10:002010-09-20T08:40:05.909+10:00I've had such trouble getting my Amaryllis to ...I've had such trouble getting my Amaryllis to bloom as well ... they're all potted and they've never ever even come close to looking as if they going to bloom.
