Other Amaryllis blooms

The regulars, Roseum by the chain-link fence. The bloom started about a month later, in March, compared to last year which was in Feb.



The red vittatum hybrid (his is the name that appears in the local on-line catalogue :-)


I like the dark-red stripes, striking up close


And, surprisingly, the recently acquired Habranthus Gracilifolius bulbs are blooming again.

Hippeastrum Equestre or Puniceum - red

I have been trying to find an ID for this widely available here. It somehow resembles the species Hippeastrum Gracile.

It is red, the bloom measuring about 4 inches, on an 12 inches scape. The colour is darkish red, with creamish turning to green throat. Loves to multiply.

Here are the pictures











With Tosca

Hippeastrum Elvas

Copied from my Fotopage

This is Elvas, pretty and pretty similar to Aphrodite. The bulb purchased from Royal Colors, flowered in 22 days after planting.

Enjoy Elvas, the hippeastrum









Side by side with Aphrodite


With red Puniceum, Tosca and Aphrodite


Another beautiful rendition from Royal Colors. The flowers from the first scape have faded, and there is a second scape emerging from the bulb! :-> :-> :->
