A new season of beautiful blooms abounds in 2023

2023 was our most successful year of glorious blooms so far. We had thousands of hippeastrum flowers from August through to January. Unfortunately, we couldn’t take photographs of them all. We even lost hundreds from the phone that decided to have a meltdown right at the end of the season. However, we have some beauties to share with you.

As you may already know, we sell seeds in single- and double-crossed lots, usually grouped by colours. The exotic shaped ones you see in these images are sold in groups of exotics, these include Papilio, Yungasence, Mandonii and Buksovii. We also have Chico and Robusta varieties to name just a few of the unique varieties we grow.

Because we have so many varieties, we are busily working on cataloguing systems and streamlining our growing processes. This will help us to know exactly what we have and where to find it quickly. Due to our experimenting with crossing varieties and growing and selling hippeastrums at all points of their lifecycle this is difficult. We have complexities that mass producers of identical blooms do not have. This gives our fledgling business heart and character that you may not find elsewhere.

As a result of the large range of flowers we have on hand, it is difficult to list everything online. So, if you see any flowers in particular that tickle your fancy, please contact us. You can email us at sales@heddysue.com and we can find something unique, that we know you’ll like. We are more than happy to try to fulfill your hippeastrum dreams.

Asimina Triloba- Rich and Custard Like American Paw Paw.

Asimina Triloba seeds available-
see our shop.

Asimina triloba, the American pawpaw, is native to the Eastern, Southern, and Midwestern United States.

The tree commonly grows in floodplains and shady, rich bottomlands, where it often forms a dense, clonally spreading undergrowth in the forest, often appearing as a patch or thicket of individual small slender trees. Pawpaws are not the first to colonize a disturbed site) but may become dominant. Although shade-tolerant, pawpaws do not persist in undisturbed old growth forest.

Pawpaw flowers are insect-pollinated, but fruit production is sometimes limited as few if any pollinators are attracted to the flower’s faint, or sometimes non-existent scent. The flowers produce an odor similar to that of rotting meat to attract blowflies or carrion beetles for cross pollination. Other insects that are attracted to pawpaw flowers include scavenging fruit flies, carrion flies and beetles. Because of irregular fruit production, Asimina pawpaw plants are self-incompatible, requiring cross-pollination between trees of different clones (patches).

The fruits of the pawpaw are eaten by a variety of mammals.
The disagreeable-smelling leaves, twigs, and bark of pawpaws contain natural insecticides known as acetogenins. Pawpaw leaves and twigs are seldom consumed by stock.

The fruit of the pawpaw “looks a bit like mango, but with pale yellow, custardy, spoonable flesh and black, easy-to-remove seeds.” Wild-collected pawpaw fruits, ripe in late Summer to early Autumn, have long been a favorite treat throughout the tree’s extensive native range in eastern North America, and on occasion are sold locally at farmers’ markets. Pawpaw fruits have a sweet, custardish flavor somewhat similar to banana, mango, and cantaloupe, with more protein than most fruits. American agronomist E. Lewis Sturtevant described pawpaws as.. …”a natural custard, too luscious for the relish of most people”.

Ohio botanist William B. Werthner noted that… “The fruit … has a tangy wild-wood flavor peculiarly its own”.

These seeds are imported from the USA from a commercial grower. Two seedlings are required for cross pollination to produce fruit.

Happy, Healthy Hippeastrums- a look at 2020

Hippeastrums are one of the most glorious summer blooms you can find. Here are just a few from the 2020 season. They can easily be grown from seeds, however, there is variation from the parent stock. Growing from seed and choosing your pollination stock is an exciting and rewarding hobby for those of us who are patient and avid gardeners.
Crossing your blooms for stunning features such as picotee edges, frills, striking size and unique colouring in petals and throat can reward you with some absolutely amazing flowers which are wonderful for flower arrangements and garden features.

Hippeastrums are drought tolerant, low maintenance and widely known albeit under stated. They proliferate in dappled sun and shady places but can also handle quite sunny positions. Adaptable for most garden settings, indeed perfect for borders and pots alike. Hippeastrums include a wide variety of species which have unique and distinct characteristics which are perfect for collectors and enthusiasts.

Swan Lake X Papilio – a single bloom with green throat and red picotee edge.
“My Fave” Crimson Hybrid – a beautiful deep pink bloom with black throat.
Maguire’s Summertime – a pretty pink single bloom.

The babies from these crosses will take on a variety of characteristics from both parents. Pot luck can be such fun!

Have you seen any particular hippeastrums on the website that you are interested in adding to your collection or giving as a gift? Check out our shop to see what is currently available or email us at sales@heddysue.com to ask for something specifically. We are more than happy to help.

Lovely bulbs from 2015

All the bulbs I have grown from seed are now starting to flower, and letting me know what they are. I obviously have some that are multiples of what I need. And Listed below are the red white bulbs I have for sale.
Bulbs on this page are all $10.00 each for flowering size and $5.00 for pups. (if I have any)
Between the items is an article on some technical info on bulbs.

red-white-home-ramp-on-north-fence-img_5220

This article is about bulbs as defined botanically. For bulbs in the wider gardening sense, see Ornamental bulbous plant.

Hippeastrum (amaryllis) bulb
In botany, a bulb is a short stem with fleshy leaves or leaf bases that function as food storage organs during dormancy.

Red White Stripe yellow centre, scented. Pot

(In gardening, plants with other kinds of storage organ are also called “ornamental bulbous plants” or just “bulbs”.)

home-red-white-stripe-30-10-14-026

A bulb’s leaf bases, also known as scales, generally do not support leaves, but contain food reserves to enable the plant to survive adverse weather conditions. At the center of the bulb is a vegetative growing point or an unexpanded flowering shoot.

The base is formed by a stem, and plant growth occurs from this basal plate. Roots emerge from the underside of the base, and new stems and leaves from the upper side.

Tunicate bulbs have dry, membranous outer scales that protect the continuous lamina of fleshy scales. Species in the genera Allium, Hippeastrum, Narcissus, and Tulipa all have tunicate bulbs. Non-tunicate bulbs, such as Lilium and Fritillaria species, lack the protective tunic and have looser scales.

Other types of storage organs (such as corms, rhizomes, and tubers) are sometimes referred to as bulbs, although as the term is used in botany, they are not.

Red Orange, White & yellow throat – Cocktail

The technical term for plants that form underground storage organs, including bulbs as well as tubers and corms, is geophyte. Some epiphytic orchids (family Orchidaceae) form above-ground storage organs called pseudobulbs, that superficially resemble bulbs.

Nearly all plants that form true bulbs are monocotyledons, and include:

Amaryllis, Crinum, Hippeastrum, Narcissus, and several other members of the amaryllis family Amaryllidaceae. This includes onion, garlic, and other alliums, members of the Amaryllid subfamily Allioideae.

Lily, tulip, and many other members of the lily family Liliaceae.
Two groups of Iris species, family Iridaceae: subgenus Xiphium (the “Dutch” irises) and subgenus Hermodactyloides (the miniature “rock garden” irises).
Oxalis, in the family Oxalidaceae, is the only dicotyledon genus that produces true bulbs.[4][5]

Bulbous plant species cycle through vegetative and reproductive growth stages; the bulb grows to flowering size during the vegetative stage and the plant flowers during the reproductive stage. Certain environmental conditions are needed to trigger the transition from one stage to the next, such as the shift from a cold winter to spring.[2] Once the flowering period is over, the plant enters a foliage period of about six weeks during which time the plant absorbs nutrients from the soil and energy from the sun for setting flowers for the next year. Bulbs dug up before the foliage period is completed will not bloom the following year but then should flower normally in subsequent years.

After the foliage period is completed, bulbs may be dug up for replanting elsewhere. Any surface moisture should be dried, then the bulbs may be stored up to about 4 months for a fall planting. Storing them much longer than that may cause the bulbs to dry out inside and become nonviable.

Hippeastrum bulbs, how to grow from seed.

As some people have trouble with email getting lost (sorry bigpond users – your stuff always goes missing) I have put this here for them.

This will also give simple directions on how to grow some of the more interesting hippeastrum crosses bulbs that I sell.  Good luck everyone… I hope they grow like weeds.

Calyptrupum …………
These are originally found growing on trees and in rock crevices. But do very well in a mix of blue metal, coco coir, and vermiculite (or perlite) mix, in a pot…  In a well-lit area with high humidity, so a green shade house is perfect or in a lush tree on the northeast side. Your home environment will have to be taken into consideration when choosing a spot, basically where ever orchids grow… feed with weak liquid fertiliser.

Aulicum x Mandonii …..
Free draining mix in morning sun, but can handle full sun if kept well watered in the heat of summer. Feed frequently for bigger flowers. Ordinary potting mix with added sand is great.

hippeastrum reticulatum var. striatifolium

These bulbs love a shady (not dark) moist environment out of the wind. Plant them deeply in well-drained sandy mix, in a big pot in a greenhouse or another warm shady place.
Water well, but let dry out between waterings, likes humidity, but not being soggy wet.
Should flower in 2 years, if not before. Feed frequently.

SEEDS.……………..
Please use the compost and sand method, unless you are familiar with the floatation method.

I have found better results that way as my water is not suitable for the floatation method.

You will find a great youtube video here

Temperature is the most important factor in germination of hippeastrum seeds, the optimum temp is between 20C and 30C However a low of 15C at night and a high of 40C during the day is acceptable.

I use 1/3 multi-purpose potting mix,  1/3 coco coir, 1/3 sand. Mix well..
Sieve enough to use on top layer. Old fan safety mesh works well here.
You need a light friable mix that holds water but still drains well.

Lay the seeds out in rows 3cm between seeds and 10cm between rows.

I use polystyrene boxes, with holes and fill about 12cm deep.
Layout seeds and cover evenly with 1cm topping mix.

Water well until the whole box is soaking, leave to drain, cover with plastic, select a warm shaded spot, Don’t water again unless just a light spray to keep top slightly damp until you see leaves appearing 2 to 3 weeks. Then fertilise with charlie carp Seasol Superbooster. or equivalent.

You can keep them in a greenhouse, or cover with plastic in the warm shade outside.
This is to help keep the top moist and stop the wind blowing the moisture away

At these spacings, you can keep them in the box a couple of years… When they get too big they can go straight in the ground. And some may flower next year. I often just spread them out a bit and leave them in the poly boxes, you get a lot less weeds.
I also use Thrive liquid fertiliser, trace elements and pelleted chook poo when older.

Baby BULBS…………………………..
When transplanting out baby bulbs, make sure the green/white tip/leaf on the top of the bulblet is above the ground as much as possible without them falling over.

Mature BULBS.…………
When planting out mature bulbs, make sure the bulb neck is above the top of the soil or mulch. Otherwise in winter with no leaves, the dew/rain can settle in the top of the bulb… making them rot out.   Plant into good quality well draining garden soil… Or well draining potting mix in a pot. Feed frequently, some varieties like more shade than others.

All hippeasrtums like liquid fertiliser, seasol and chook poo. Keep watch for clivia grub (black with white markings) which can burrow into the bulb.  Water less frequently as the bulbs grow older.

Water in all new bulb transplants with liquid fertiliser,  charlie carp, Seasol Superbooster. or equivalent.

Happy gardening
Best of luck

Hippeastrum /ˌhɪpiːˈæstrəm/ is a genus of about 90 species and over 600 hybrids and cultivars of perennial herbaceous bulbous plants. They generally have large fleshy bulbs and tall broad leaves, generally evergreen, and large red or purple flowers.

Lemon Vitattum IMG_4686

Beautiful big flower, striking colours.

Hippeastrum is a genus in the family Amaryllidaceae (subfamily Amaryllidoideae, tribe Hippeastreae, and subtribe Hippeastrineae) The name Hippeastrum, given to it by William Herbert, means “Knight’s-star-lily”, although precisely what Herbert meant by the name is not certain.

Huge Dark red. Mattahorn X Black Diamond.. selfed   Spectacular flower, colour and shape.

For many years there was confusion among botanists over the generic names Amaryllis and Hippeastrum, one result of which is that the common name “amaryllis” is mainly used for cultivars of this genus, often sold as indoor flowering bulbs particularly at Christmas in the northern hemisphere.

By contrast the generic name Amaryllis applies to bulbs from South Africa, usually grown outdoors. The genus is native to tropical and subtropical regions of the Americas from Argentina north to Mexico and the Caribbean.

Reproduction is generally by allogamy (cross-pollination) and Hippeastrum may be propagated by seed or offset bulbils (bulblets), although commercial ventures use in vitro techniques, or splitting of the bulb into sections.

The genus has been intensely bred and cultivated since the early nineteenth century to produce large colourful showy flowers. In temperate climes these can be placed outside in the summer, and after a dormancy period, be induced to re-bloom inside in the winter.

Most Hippeastrum bulbs are tunicate (a protective dry outer layer and fleshy concentric inner scales or leaf bases).

Red White X White No 1

The bulbs are generally between 5–12 cm (2″–5″) in diameter and produce two to seven long-lasting evergreen or deciduous leaves that are 30–90 cm (12″–36″) long and 2.5–5 cm (1″–2″) wide.

The leaves are hysteranthous (develop after flowering), sessile, rarely persistent and subpetiolate.

The flowers are arranged in umbelliform inflorescences which are pauciflor or pluriflor (2-14 flowers), supported on an erect hollow scape (flower stem) which is 20–75 cm (12″–30″) tall and 2.5–5 cm (1″–2″) in diameter with two free bracts forming a spathe which is bivalve with free leaflets at its base.

Vittatum White Crimson X Hot Pink 2

Depending on the species, there are two to fifteen large showy flowers, which are more or less zygomophic and hermaphrodite. Each flower is 13–20 cm (5″–8″) across, and the native species are usually purple or red. They are funnelform (funnel shaped) and declinate (curving downwards and then upwards at the tip) in shape.

Red White 8 X Red 28

The perianth has six brightly colored tepals (three outer sepals and three inner petals) that may be similar in appearance or very different. The perianth segments are subequal or unequal. The tepals are united at the base to form a short tube, usually with a rudimentary scaly paraperigonium with fimbriae or a callose ridge present at the throat.

Vittatum X (Apple Blossom X Elvas

The androecium consists of six stamens with filiform (thread like) filaments, which are fasciculate (in close bundles) and declinate or ascendent. The anthers are dorsifixed or versatile. In the gynaecium, the ovary is inferior and trilocular with pluriovulate locules. The style is filiform, and the stigma trifid.
