Certified ExpertA.Yes they can! Some gardeners really enjoy growing amaryllis from seed because they cross-pollinate so readily, and the child flower is almost always different from the parent flowers. The only drawback is that it's a long process - it'll be a couple years before the seed you plant actually produces flowers. This article will tell you all about the process: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/bulbs/amaryllis-hippeastrum/amaryllis-seed-propagation.htm

Can you thin them out when they are crowded. They are outside and I want to thin them. They have already flowered... still more buds on some.

April 15, 2017A.Yes, you can thin the bulbs while they are actively growing if you're gentle.
Dig under the whole clump, tease individual bulbs apart and then replant. Be careful not to damage the leaves (don't trim them) as they are producing the food for the plants (photosynthesis).
If these are in full sun you might want to provide some shade for a week or so while they settle back in.

How do I send an amaryllis bulb in the mail? I was going to put it in a zip lock bag with some soil and send it in a bubble envelope would this be OK?

June 9, 2017A.Check with the post office and the state you are mailing to. Usually amaryllis bare rooted before shipping. This involved removing all loose soil. The packing in the root in damp, but not wet wood shavings, and wrapping with lightly moist newspaper. Skip the plastic bag as it will not allow for any air circulation and can lead to rotting the bulb. I would use a box instead of a bubble envelope as it is less likely to be crushed in the mail. The post office and each state have rules about shipping agricultural products. Bulbs fall under these rules. Check with you local Farm Bureau if you are unsure how to proceed.

Tarzana, CAQ.Transplanting Amaryllis
I have a 1/2 wine barrel of packed Amaryllis bulbs that have bloomed beautifully. They were my father's favorite and he passed away, so I'd like to share them. I'd like to split the group and drive them to other family members to replant. Can you offer a step-by-step guide to help me? Thank you very much!! Leslie Hamilton wristybiz@aol.com P.S: The shot attached is months old. The bulbs are much more packed in now.
