Hello everyone! So many beautiful blooms here, I definitely need a bigger porch to put more!
The past couple of years I've been adding a few amaryllis, here and there, only to find that what I thought I had, -wasn't! LOL Of course, being a newbie with these gorgeous bulbs, I'm having a 'scratch my head' moment trying to figure out what some of them really are...

These popped out finally over the weekend, purchased as San Remo and Charisma.... however, comparing them to other pics, they resemble Picotee and Showmaster (?). I realize that growing conditions and age and such may alter the colors slightly, but I have a few that were really not what the labels said....
Just thought maybe someone here could 'Yay or Nay' an ID, so I can make some permanent labels for them. I think the red with the green throat is my Gilmar, but not sure on that either...
Thanks for any help!
