Amaryillis and their leaf size
My amaryillis is out for the past month or so, and the leaves are only
about 4 inches. I notice that the flower stem is popping its head out. We have had this plant for a number of years. It seems as if in the past the leaves have been larger before the flower stem pops out. Does the length of the leaves affect how successful the flowers will be? I thought that the leaves make energy for the bulb for next years flower rather than this years flower, and the less leaf the better. Any views on this? The weather in our area has been colder this winter than last year, although the plant is in a sunny window. We have always kept out house at around 58 degrees. Tom |

Is this Amaryllis belladonna (common names: "naked lady", "belladonna lily")? Or is this from the genus Hippeastrum (common names: "amaryllis", "oxblood lily" (red varieties))? See my http://www.rossde.com/garden/garden_hippeastrum.html for the differeces between the two. I would say it is Genus Hippeastrum. Tom |
