Good Morning, Danielle and Northlawn Flower Farm community! Have a blessed day! 🌷

I'm sensing you are trying to hold back a giggle.. maybe it's just me! So excited we'll get to see more of you 😀

I planted some Picotee begonia tubers in pots for the first time. I can’t wait to see them grow. Thanks for including begonias.

I like that you started in your library.

Love seeing the chipping update!!!

Hi Danielle, I love nerine! I used to use them in arrangements years ago! They are striking. I never grew crinum so I can't comment on it, but thanks for sharing your opinion on growing it, as well as sharing the amaryllis updates. I'm amazed how many amaryllis slips you got from chipping the bulb! I can't wait to try this myself! I love the idea of planting your dahlia and lilies in pots to place in the garden! Thank you for sharing all this great, useful informatio in this this video! I'm looking forward to seeing your begonias grow too! You and Grace make a wonderful team in the garden. 😍

Hi Danielle I love watching your video it so calming and relaxing to watch while it's very educational. Thank you!

haha! I so enjoy watching you and have learned so much! Today I am struggling to read the titles of the plant books in your library in the back ground, knowing I want to read some of them. Please include a book review every now and then. And thanks for ALL the great videos!

Danielle, I love your experiments. Please keep showing us the results you are getting, because sometimes we forget how resilient plants and bulbs are. Thank you so much for sharing with us. 🥰🤗💐🦋🐝

What fun! I have to say the deep red flowers (tulips?) in the driveway garden are stunning with the alliums.

Wow Danielle that bulb you chipped was so cool! I totally want to try this! I love your information and enthusiasm! Deanna

Your enthusiasm for gardening is such a joy! You are a big reason I've started collecting amaryllis and I am so excited to try relatives like agapanthus and nerines in the future. Thanks for sharing your love of these plants. It's a big inspiration.

Thank you Danielle, I am so happy you are giving updates on the amaryllis from seed, perhaps they needed to be under lights as well. I did some right along with you, mine has bulbs and are also small but seem happy.

Your garden is such a feast for the eyes. Simply stunning every time a new video comes out. Amaryllis need sun and heat, so I put mine outside as soon as frost danger has passed. When I lived in FL many years ago, we grew them outside year-round. The chipping experiment was quite a success!

I love the bulbs and have been keeping my amaryllis after Christmas. Maybe this year I’ll actually get something big enough to let go dormant and then get blooms again! Looking forward to learning more about nerines.

I am so addicted to amaryllis! You were a great inspiration for me to try them. I plant them with my autistic students. They loved it! The flowers were so amazing! We sold them for a fundraiser for school. Now I will try chipping with them.

Danielle, my mother in law planted Amaryllis out in the garden every Summer, and they multiplied well out there! ☺

Gorgeous, just simply gorgeous.

This year I want to experiment with propagating dahlias from cuttings when I pinch my plants in my dahlia patch. Love your videos!! Julie

More Danielle! Whooo hoooo!

Danielle! I just love your enthusiasm and positivity, thank you for all your informative and uplifting videos

When you mentioned nerines, which I didn’t know about before, my first thought was “Oh no, here comes another addiction… my family is going to kill me!”😂,

Ooooh the chipping method is awesome, my zillions of amaryllis seedling I just put in the ground and treat them like a lariope or grass to fight erosion etc… since I have a new space to garden with, and they grow fast. I don’t care if they don’t flower for awhile just strappy leaves to fight of weeds 😅

Love the chipping amaryllis. I can keep my amaryllis alive but rarely get them to rebloom. I am going to try again this summer with them outdoors and then review your videos of how to proceed.

It’s so cute to see how excited you get. I’ve bought every book you’ve recommended. Thank you for sharing all your knowledge!

did I miss an annoucement? Are you writing a book? If you are I think it is the best news I have heard! I have often thought your garden was so book-worthy and so beautiful!

We may have to call you the Amaryllis Whisperer.

Have to try the amaryllis bulb propagation! That was super exciting I agree!

I’ve not seen begonia corms planted before. You may have done so and I just missed it but thank you for demonstrating how. I would like to try some but was afraid of them rotting. Good to see it done. Thank you.

Thank you for posting your vlog! I always learn so much from you!

I think you are spot on to try and give your Amaryllis some more light, they grow in folks front yard here in the winter ❄️ along side poinsettias in zone 10b Southern California

Wow the amaryllis propagation was very fun! Nice job 👏

Thanks for teaching me something new. I was confusing Nerine with Lycoris lilies. I can grow Lycoris in the ground in Zone 6a, but upon checking I would need to lift Nerines. I think I was using the names interchangeably. Love all the botanical info I get from you!

Thank you for showing how to plant Nerines. I bought a beautiful one at the end of the season on sale and without a tag. I had never heard of them before and not sure which particular one I got. However, now, it’s coming up, but I realized I planted it too deep, so I’m going to gently remove some of the topsoil. Yay, for the Amaryllis!! I think your experiments are really interesting. 😊😊😊

The driveway garden with there’d tulips and purple alliums us beautiful. Thank you taking us along on your experiments. So interesting and makes me want to do these things too. Last year was the first year I saved amaryllis and planted them in the garden for their summer holiday.

You are just glowing in this video, Danielle. And your garden is looking so beautiful. I have never planted Nerines; they aren’t hardy for me and I don’t have space to overwinter them successfully. Your results from chipping the Amaryllis are amazing and certainly seems to be the way to go if you want to increase your supply.

My amaryllis that I grew from seed, started 3 years ago, is blooming!

@@NorthlawnFlowerFarm I have just four bulbs. They are in small terracotta pots. I left them outside til cold weather and then I placed them on my heated porch. Last fall I did let them go dormant. The one that bloomed is the largest of the 4. It was so exciting to see the bud emerge! I do water in the summer months with a water soluble fertilizer. Good luck with yours.

Love all the amaryllis updates!

So happy to see the the amaryllis’s seed update!

You do look positively radiant and so happy that it is a Joy to catch up with you & Grace on your experiments and each glimpse of your beautiful garden is always such a treat ! Is the writing you refer to about a book or articles please ? Loving your hummingbirds earrings and by the way do you guys get hummingbirds in your zone as for us in London UK they are just an exotic picture book dream 😃 Happy May dear Danielle 💚

Thank you so much for the link to the article on bearded Irises. I didn’t realize about keeping dry after blooming. I will need to move some that I planted this spring so I can be assured they will make it to next year. Your excitement with the amaryllis is contagious. I am so happy for you that the split method worked.

Thank you for planting nerines, I’ve always wondered why mine never flowered. I’m now ready to try again. Cheers 🇦🇺Bronwyn

So much fun! Now I want to try the amaryllis chipping technique! Thanks Danielle!

I love learning new gardening tips. God Bless!

Thank you Danielle. Happy Growing ! ! ! 💐💚🙃

Since amaryllis takes about 3 to 5 years from seed to bloom. I would think 1 year m focus on root growth, developing foliage to produce a bulb. 2 year grow that bulb bigger. 3 year the bulb is now established and might bloom. 4 year bulb is now mature. 5 year, yes it should annually bloom for you

You look amazing You are my best friend in Spring

I have some dahlias I have thought about planting in pots, now I’m going to for sure. I like the idea of placing the pots in my established gardens. I have not heard of nerines, must check those out. I too am trying to plant more bulbs. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and beautiful garden.

I think you're right and just need to give the ones you collected from seed more sun.

Well this is interesting! "If you sprout seeds in water, once roots appear, transfer the seeds to a germinating mix, barely covering them. It takes anywhere from three to 14 years for a seed-sprouted amaryllis to flower."

Good Morning Danielle from Maine

I also have lots of seed amaryllis going too, after seeing your content on it.

Love your video and your garden!

Hi Danielle. Thank you for all your content here on KZread. I was actually wondering how your Yardlink fence is holding up?? Thank you

Your yard always looks so nice,OMG MY ASTHMA BEEN SO BAD. Tree pollen gets me. I dug yesterday forgot to mask up. My seed Amaryllis are a year old. The ones I planted in a window box those are bigger than yours. Have a dozen I forgot in the garage they woke up in January I re potted them. They are smaller. Have a dozen bulbs to go in the 18 inch pot for the patio they love the sun.

Dahlias in pots! I think we read each other's minds 💚

I have planted dahlias in pots for years. It is easier to manage and move around.

Hi friend ☺. I have been enjoying Claus Dalby and am planting lots of lilies and peonies in pots. I move them into my garden an when they are blooming. I have also done zinnias this way, but I didn't do that well. Trying again this summer!

I didn’t know about nerines. I’ll add them to my garden.

I’ve never heard of Nerine! Learn something new…

Hi Danielle, I just stumbled upon your KZread channel. I love Amaryllis! I was curious how soon will a flower form from the seed plant vs the chipped plant? Ideally of course. Thank You!

❤❤❤❤❤coffe with daniele.

Thanks Danielle, very interesting video, what are the orange looking flowers in back of you around minute 7? I've never seen begonia corms, are those from Longfield, would like to try some.

I am trying to grow amaryllis from seeds as well, but mine haven't even sprouted yet (I just started). But from reading, growing them from seeds is a really long process. So yours are probably right on schedule. I am not sure if I should put mine outside once they sprout or just keep them inside for the first year. I also used pink surprise as a mother plant to get seeds.

Very interested to see that the amaryllis from seed aren't performing as well as the chipped amaryllis. I'm wondering if it's something to do with the nature of the pollination process that just doesn't lend itself to successful propagation? After all, it takes some of the flower breeders a decade to get something to work. Love your amaryllis programmes, greetings from Europe

I"m curious about why you wanted to unpot your amaryllis and broke the bulbette off now, vs waiting for fall when they go dormant? I am currently growing 22 seedlings from one cross this winter, and have successfully chipped two sections of Magic Touch amaryllis. It'll still be a couple of years for blooming though. I was just watching a video of your's from 6mo ago, the 10 design mistakes, and then watched this on. I def think I like your more open design in the walk now, compared to the big hydrangeas overhaning the walkway. It's fun to watch the changes... gardens never stay the same!

I love crinum. Wish they bloomed more often but even not in bloom, they cover space most of the year.

Takes 3-14 years for seed-grown amaryllis to bloom. They look healthy, so just need patience. It's a good idea to grow them outside in summer. Plant them inside their pot in the garden, matching the soil levels. Water along with your garden (not too much). Bring the pot inside over winter for their dormancy period.

Hi Danielle. Did I miss the link to the amaryllis chipping? Can you please give us an update of the hydrangeas your propagated as well. Thank you

wow thanks for the info on Nerines. I planted mine way too deep only getting leaves. They have over wintered to my delight but should I dig and replant at a better level?

@NorthlawnFlowerFarm

Ай бұрын

I would friend❤ Or perhaps you can move some soil away from the neck so that it’s exposed?

Have you put your baby bulbs into dormancy? I grow a bunch from seed several years ago. And just kept them growing all year round until they got some size on them.

Some ideas on the amaryllis pups ... do you think they might need less space? I know they do like a tight planting. Fertilizer? Let us know how they do once you repot and set outside; I'm going to try planting amaryllis seeds directly in my garden this year and bring them in before the frost.

I bought 6 amaryllis that put on a stunning display throughout the Christmas season and well into March. They had beautiful long green leaves. I continued to water them. I wanted to put them outside for the summer but unfortunately, our weather isn't warm enough until the end of May/beginning of June. Now the leaves have mostly turned yellow and fallen off. Does this mean the bulbs are dead? Should I put them outside if they aren't dead even though they have few leaves to soak up sun? What, if anything, did I do wrong?

The ones I started from seed took 3 years for a bloom. I'm in zone 8b so they are outside in the ground year around. Amaryllis

Are you fertilizing the amaryllis-from-seed? My first thought was that they were too deep... I've done outdoor sun till September, fertilizing regularly and the bulbs bulked up very nicely.

Nerine? I haven't heard of this. Is it something new? I could use late summer/fall color in my garden.

I love following your channel! Where do you order your begonias from?

Hi friend! Those are from Longfield Gardens.

How do you stake your Dahlias in pots? I’ve wanted to try this but didn’t know how to provide support for them.

What size pots do you recommend for dahlias?

Hi Danielle, another great video, thanks. I have a question regarding alliums, gladiator etc. this season several of them only produced leaves the is no stem or flower in site and the leaves have already started withering. Should I just pull them and start over in the fall with new bulbs?

@NorthlawnFlowerFarm

Ай бұрын

Hi Pam! I would add some new ones. Are the leaves still as big as they were last year? Or are they very small? If the leaves can gather enough energy from the sun and bulk up the bulb to blooming size they may bloom again next year.

@@NorthlawnFlowerFarm ok thank you! The leaves are more narrow and have literally turned pale yellow and dried. I think I will order some new ones from Long Field for the fall it's just disappointing when they were placed in sunny spots and part of color scheme and nothing came of them. I do have others that came back fine so who knows ..I appreciate your response 😊

Oh my goodness, I've planted nerines a couple times, I first planted in fall, then spring and no success. I was covering them entirely. So shoulders out. After they bloom in the pot will you bring the pot in and overwinter inside? Or could you plant out? I was really off base on this beauty. Thank you! You are such a blessing!!

Hi Sharon! In the past I have dug them out and stored the bulbs in the basement. I believe they are hardy to zone 8. I have see a few articles say it may be possible to overwinter them in zone 7 but I have never left them in the ground here.

Hi friend! The corms are from Longfield gardens. The porch ( as you look at it straight on) faces east but the side of it near the small boxwood hedge gets afternoon sun too. So the pots are getting almost all day sun since it streams in from the side also.

Amarilas may need a little nutrients? Food for thought

They dont grow big at first from seed it takes years for the bulb to get big

anytime i potted up dahlias they never did well and loss quite a few from rot

I don't know why, but growing from seed is slower for many plants that are not annuals. Including potatoes. I grew some from seed and they were just salad size

Hi Danielle, Maybe the young amaryllis bulbs are too small yet to actually put energy into flowers? Id say give them their own pots and leave them for another year or two, to have the large roots like the older ones have. Its all about the roots that holds the energy for flowers. That's my critical thinking about propagating amaryllis bulbs. I'm no expert at all. Jo.😊

@pansepot1490

Amaryllis, and afaik other bulb plants, don’t even think about producing flowers until the bulb has grown to a certain size. I believe it’s normal for big bulbs to take several years to flower when grown from seed.
