This One's For Laura

amaryllis

Those of you with long memories may remember we acquired an amaryllis on Freecycle. It is now in flower.

And bursting with pollen. Well done!

Edited to add: you could take a small brush and dot some pollen on the style (the three-pronged doodad in the foreground) when it's fully open and see if it's self-fertile. If it is, you'll get seeds in a little over a month. Plant them immediately.

Not bad for a plant that was being given away....
