I've had a Hippeastrum in a pot for a few years. It usually flowers once a year. This year it has had a second flush.
I note from Wiki:
"Some bulbs put up two flower scapes at the same time; others may wait several weeks between blooms and sometimes the second scape will have only two or three flowers rather than the usual four"
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hippeastrum]
My 'second flush' had four flowers, though at the time I took the photo (03jul16) only two were showing.
Has anybody else had experience of 'second flushes' with their Hippeastrums?
I guess I am curious to know if it depends on age of plant / high plant nutrition / particular season / something else.
Mike
