Lovely blooms, Babara. Cutting them is a good idea so you can enjoy them inside, better then letting them get damaged.

Violetta's blooms were not as large as last year but just as beautiful, and so far only one bloom stalk. After blooming last year I found a soft spot on the bulb that I had to clean up, so far it is looking good.

Welcome Phillip. Your second photo is probably Minerva, the most common striped Amaryllis in general circulation. Will you post a photo, of the front of the bloom, to see deep into the center. I'm looking to see whether or not there is a red "line" around the center. It's impossible to ID white ones. There are so many of them currently on the market.

That's great Kelli, looking forward to your photos. Mine are just about finished, I have one stalk coming up on Aphrodite.

Seedling 9357, not mine, the poor thing came with a number and no name so I gave her a pet name, "Namintha". Hilarious!

I am lucky to have such a great SW facing bay window like that, works perfectly for them. But as you can see I don't think I have room for any more especially now that they are leafing out. Whistling
