There are some really spectacular colors and size.  Most of them will grow a second stalk of flowers.  I think commercial growers must select for plants with 4 flowers per stalk.

I have grown some from seed and they have from 4 to 6 flowers per stalk.

The other thing I learned from growing seed is that they do not like growing next to each other.  The bulbs you buy are clones of one plant.  It you grow from seed or have more than one color, do not put them near each other.  They will stunt the growth of each other.

I got flowers in just one year growing from seed but only in pots that did not have competition from other seedlings.
