One of the Amaryllis plants in the house, rescued over the years from Christmas decor torture, (one bulb was stripped and waxed! Poor thing!!)  has thrown a seed pod!!
Anyone know if these look viable?

wow!
Mine have never even tried!

Is this a bulb forced to bloom over the winter?
Mine bloom and then soon after are a droopy melting mess...I kick them outside as soon as the weather warms so the leaves continue to grow.

Will be interesting to see baby amaryllis🥳

Yeah, they are raised in south America, get sent here for Christmas, bloom, then are all out of whack with the seasons. After a few years they get more on a schedule, I had several bloom this spring so far. I tried putting them out one summer but the grasshoppers just shredded the poor things. They don't go out any more.

I am not going to have the oomph to try to grow the seeds out. I'm barely managing to keep anything alive and thriving (including the cat and she yells when she's not happy, the plants just die.)  If anyone would be interested in trying them, PM me.

I recall that a friend of mine grew some from seed - or at least tried. I don't think they've ever bloomed as I think it hasn't been long enough. If I remember, I will ask.

Wow! Worth just throwing them in a pot and seeing what happens. I got a date palm growing now from store-bought dates I ate. All the seeds went in my geranium pot and one out of maybe 50 grew.

Worth trying — amaryllis from seed takes a few years to bloom but it's satisfying when they finally do. The waxed bulb rescue is impressive, those things are basically tortured and still come back. I've had luck with seeds from hippeastrum just sowing them fresh in a small pot and keeping them warm, they germinate pretty reliably.
