Hmm! This doesn't look right.

This is one of last year's amaryllis. It made it through the rest of last winter and then the summer and now it's sending up all these shoots. Unfortunately none of them are flower shoots but the bulb looks healthy. We'll hang onto it and see what happens next year.
Maybe just be patient? a couple of my new bulbs grew the leaves for quite a while before the flower shoots emerged. Maybe a flower will sneak up the side yet?

They are little baby bulbs! The "mother" will probably still bloom this year, then you can take them out of the pot and separate the little ones. You will have three plants next year.

I hope it flowers Sue.

@gardencat I'll leave it where it is and if anything exciting happens I'll post a picture 😊

I suppose they need a rest from flowering occasionally!

You may still get something. We have just planted two from last year that we are hoping will resurrect!

Good luck.

Ha ha no but it looks like an extra shoot so don’t knock it!

Doing well to me. Changes in the weather, seems all over the world have impacted all plants.

I don't have a clue myself, but the green is nice to see anyhow. Do keep us posted, Sue.

Hopefully you will have 3 plants instead of one.

Have you tried giving them a bit of plant food? Even if they don't flower this year, they might next year.
