So far I have crossed flower pollen together in the following combos:
1. Minerva 1 x Minerva 2
2. Minerva 2 x Red-White
3. Minerva 3 x Red-White
4. Minerva 1 x Red-White
5. Red-White x Red
**The seed pods on the Red Amaryllis did not survive long enough due to the stem weakening in the middle; had to be removed. The Red-White Amaryllis might have same results, stem already gave in at the middle, trying to save the seed pods in a cup of a bit of water - will update!**
So far my Minerva 1 & 2 are doing fantastic with their seed pod development. I pollinated both plants around early January so I should be expecting maturing seeds in 1-2 weeks.
Here's a photo of my Minerva 1 plant developing seed pods between January 10th, and today February 2nd, 2013:

I'd like to hear from others who grow the same plant if possible. I'd like to hear observations you've had from pollinating mature flowers, to getting seeds, or losing pods from the stem dying off early.
Thanks!
