Hippeastrum 'Carmen'

Another big dark red hippeastrum. It is liked by both my wife and daughter :-) The colour is as dark as Benfica.

It is difficult to capture the true dark red colour of this bloom. I had to adjust the exposure to -1.0 to obtain the closest true colour. But even then, I can not captur the velvety petals and the sheen at the at the throat.









A bunchy look. 2 scapes with a total of eight blooms


.

Hippeastrum 'Neon'

Love the colour, so bright pink ...






Six blooms on this scape

Hippeastrum 'Lemon Lime'

Pale yellowish green .... 3 scapes from this bulb :-)

Hippeastrum Giraffe

Miniature .... 4 inches ... maroon veinings on a light green petals. Only 2 blooms from this scape, one is facing upward!

Hippeastrum Vera

Pretty in pink ... and large

Hippeastrum Naranja

Orange ... large petals



Close uppppp

Hippeastrum Blossom Peacock

Small double ... white with bright pink edges ... simply beautiful ... long lasting

Also from Royal Colors. I wanted to purchase it earlier last season but it was sold out. Royal Colors sent me as one of the Surprise Bulbs (3 Surprise Bulbs in a wooden box). So I am extremely happy and grateful ....

Hippeastrum Parodii 'Germa'

Note : Hippeastrum and Amaryllis are technically two different words and are used differently by botanists. Hipeastrum is the more correct word but amaryllis is more generally used. I try to use the correct correct word in my blog as much as possible.

Germa is my first yellow hippeastrum and is classified as trumpet by commercial sellers. It is by far, the smallest hippeastrum in my collection, even smaller than the widely available H Roseum.

Enjoy the photoseries ...


My Germa has this habit of curling back on its 1st day, then it will gradually return to its normal shape over a period of 1 day ....


Pictured with H Roseum because i want to compare the size


I also want to compare its trumpetness ... obviously Germa's trumpet is longer


Pictured next to a yellow plastic pot


Pictured with H Charisma (note : Charisma is on its 4th scape, which I hope is the last scape :-))


Pictured with Benfica


and in between Benfica and Charisma


I got my Germa from Royal Colors. Germa was no listed at its online shop, but was sent to me as replacement bulbs for my Pink Floyd that I received rotten.

Again, a special thanks to Royal Colors!

Hippeastrum Nymph

White Double ..with red lines at the throat ...







Also from Royal Colors.

Hippeastrum Benfica

One of the darkest red hippeastrum available today ... it is my darkest red yet





Got it from Royal Colors.

Hippeastrum Fairytale

Very pretty, picoteed red, with fine red veins, and light green throat ...



Close-up of the light green throat


2 scapes, and both scapes have 6 flower buds! Will be a spectacular sight when all 12 are in bloom!


Pictured with the orange Puniceum, which I think a more proper name is Roseum


Not to be left out, Charisma is pushing for its 4th scape!


And finally, the 5 pots of Maguire's bulbs
