>>>>I had a few seeds from a single head of Amaryllis belladonna last autumn, since germinated, and now have 3 additional young plants, Am I correct in thinking this was self fertilised or should I be trying to remember what was around at the same time. It could only have been a nerine? Hi Brian, Yes most likely to be selfed, but of course you cannot exclude the possibility as things can happen naturally. There's a few people trying to cross Amaryllis and Nerine at the moment, give it ten years and we might see quite a few nice bulbs being produced.
