I have some I have had for 10 years or more. They get more and more offsets as time goes on, so one ends up with pots with 5-6 flowering amaryllis of the same kind. Tonight I ordered 2 from royalbulbs.com in Holland, and they certainly are expensive, too expensive for me. But one is white and the other very dark, so when they arrive they ought to flower at the same time, and I can start my "breeding" program. Carol
