Are these seed pods, and what to do with them?

Question

My amaryllis bloomed and died, the bulb beneath the bloom dried and burst open and had I assumed to be black seeds. Are they? and can I plant them?

Answer 1

**************PLANT ME*****************
Below is Proof Positive that the seeds can be planted.....
Please plant them and enjoy them when they make bulbs and are planted.
Good Luck!
I'm sorry some people just give answers and have no clue if it's right or wrong.

I have no clue why 2 answers told you that they can't be planted.

How do those answers figure where the bulbs come from? SEEDS!

Best advise is pick one choice & follow it.
I lightly cover the seed soil temp 64-79F takes 14-35 days to germinate

Success!!!I just started growing some of my prize Amaryllis from seed! Always had good luck with the baby bulbs-have lots of Amaryllis-and used to cut the foliage to the ground, wasting the seedpods.Oh foolish me.Now,I have-last month,saved the pods and seeds-soaked the little flat seeds in a bowl of water for a few days-and gently planted them in a shallow tray of 50-50 good dirt and sandy stuff-and all sprouted last week!!!!!!They are so cute!!!!!Two inches now and tiny little replicas of their mommy's foliage. Next-when they are about 4" tall-they will be in a larger,deeper tray-and then in about two weeks-into their rightful place in my garden!!!Who'da thunk it! Wish you luck with yours too.

..........Propagation.......................
http://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/EP060
Amaryllis can be propagated by either seed, offsets or cuttage. Since seeds do not always produce plants similar to their parents, most named hybrids and selected strains are propagated by cuttage.

Answer 2

Yes they are the seed of the plant but no they are not plantable by themselves your flower has died, best get a new one. Amaryllis is a bulb not a seed, every bulb has seeds in them but its just part of the bulb

Answer 3

Good question. The guy above had your answer but I can tell you that these plants keep blooming for years if you keep them watered and in the shade. Mine are now over 10 years old and get better every year.
