Re: Amaryllis - Hippeastrum
Big box stores often sell crosses as named varieties with anything grown from bulbs or rhizomes. I've gotten irises before that were similar to what I was looking for but we're smaller and didn't have the blooms I was expecting. They buy them from discount vendors and sell them eve though they know there's little chance they are what the labels claim.SpookyShoe wrote: ↑Thu Mar 30, 2023 2:23 pm
Actually, I bought the bulbs, three of them, several years ago at Home Depot. They were labeled "Pink Garden Amaryllis."
I've been calling them Apple Blossom, because I assumed that is what they were.

Blooming right on time for outdoor amaryllis, around Easter. These are Tinkerbell.

It's not coming across but this amaryllis is a vibrant orange color.

One of my mom’s Amaryllis patches. She says these multiply.
