I have been growing Hippeastrum from seeds, it has already been three years and none of them bloomed, so i thought enough is enough... no more Mr. Nice Guy... i took them out in December last year and cut their leaves... dried them in shade and put them in my basement... now two months have passed and now i am planting these in pots... wish me luck for blooms:

You can see, some smaller bulbs have grown leaves in complete darkness....

From where can one buy Hippeastrum bulbs in Karachi?

You can order these from Lahore..

Izhar Bhai this fall I have grown Hippeastrum from seeds provided by Arif sb. Your Hippeastrum, if they do not flowers will be discouraging for me also...

I got some seeds last year from my own bulbs. Many sprouted and many didn't. I guess I have another 2 years to wait to see what I hybridized!

Success:

Great Izhar. I also wanna grow some Amaryllis!

Oh Wow! Success at last. It gives me soo much hope...

Congrats izhar bhai....it is very pleasant feeling to watch a new amaryllis bud coming out.

Growing amaryllis from seeds is a game of patience and love for the plant.
