All I can say is WOW!

And all I can say is that I am very impressed and extremely jealous!! Mine never grew, it's still alive but barely. I might ask what is your secret but I'm sure you just got a steroidal bulb! Can't wait to see the flowers and by the looks of it, that won't be long!! Good growing!! If you do have a secret, please share it with us!!

Just plain old luck of the draw....maybe it's part triffid??

Rick, I purchased one about 1.5 years ago from Telos. It was probably about the size that yours was, and has grown to a diameter of 4 cm with 7 offsets. Maybe we have the same clone. Bill

This also came from Telos, and I'm pretty sure the majority of Diane's plants are seed grown, with a few exceptions of course. Bill, would you like to swap offsets before really cold weather sets in? I always try to get non-clonal extras for cross-pollination. Lmk....

Thanks,

Welll, mine came from Telos also and I'd be embarrassed to post a picture of mine!! I'm definitely doing something wrong. I am going to repot mine today in a plastic pot and put if on heat and see what happens.!!

Hi Rick, yes I would be interested in trading. I just sent you an email.

Since it's a rather rare species plant, it looks like you've hit the jackpot!

It looks like a great flower to cross with papilio! They have similar features and could make beautiful babies!

I would like to purchase Hippeastrum leonardii offset bulbs from you. Would you sell to me?

I'm having a similar result with a small bulb of Puniceum. Purchased 2 years ago as a 10cm bulb (a bit over 1inch diameter) but it keeps producing offsets with only modest growth. Doubt it has increased in size by 1/4inch in this time.
