| Naked ladies is "Amaryllis Belladonna." The link that morz8 gave show popular plants known as common name amaryllis, but they are actually NOT amaryllis genus. They are hippeastrum. I have done pollination on hippeastrum but not amaryllis, but they should be about the same procedure wise. Hippeastrum takes 3+ years to bloom from seeds. If I remember correctly, amaryllis belladonna is about the same. |

| If you mean bulbettes that grow out of the original bulb, sure. You don't have to separate them the first year they appear though. If you mean cutting the bulbs into like 8 or 16 sections, I know that can be done with hippeastrum, but I am not sure about amaryllis. You do do some search. If amaryllis belongs to onion family like hippeastrum does, then you can probably do it. But depending on where you live, if might be easier to just leave them outside until they multiply, and then you can divide them. |

| a1chemyst, There is also a Amaryllis/Hippeastrum Forum here if you'd like to check it out. They would, more than likely, be able to answer any questions you still might have. |
