Sorry if this is a redundant post....but I am thrilled with the bulbs I received recently....some have names and some I have lost. Here is Snowbank.
New Blooms from Mamajacks Coop!!!
All beautiful. Does that greenywhite one have any scent?
I wil go out and sniff...didn't think to do it.....
Carol, they all are gorgeous!!! the third one looks like Aphrodite. Fifth one looks like Susan.
Thanks for the IDs....
Nope...no scent... But Snowbanks has a lovely light fragrance....
Beauty! Where's everybody else? More piccies please!
I think I need to order scads of Snowbanks; I love that one and if it has a scent - so much the better. Except for the mislabeled one I posted on the other thread, all of mine are still in bud. But, the buds are fat and it looks like they will really open for Christmas this year.
Yes, Alice...it IS a beauty.... A second stem is full of fat buds, too!!! The 'white' is quite 'clean', too!!!!
Awesome! They clearly like things there in HI. I have a Desire just blooming, I'll give it a couple days then take a pic. Other than that, they're still workin' on it. It's probably too cool in the house, I have them on a heating mat to help.
Well...we have had the rains of hell (15" in 7 hours), cool (cold for us) nights and all of them are in the ground.... I put them in and they make it or they don't..... So far, they make it!!!
OOOO, nice.
Sorry...got the name wrong on the white bloom...it is SnowDrift!!! Blooms last ages!!! The stems were so tall they fell over so now I have two cut stems in water...still opening buds!!!
I love these. My Peacock is within days of blooming, but Bogata and Benfica are a couple of weeks away at earliest. I love that Chico and if MamaJack is up to it next year, I'm going for one of those for sure.
Isn't it fun sharing our pic & progress? The only Amaryllis I'd ever seen or grown before was Red Lion. Still love it but there's so many more I want to try, especially the exotics. Estella was a gift for my SIL in TX, she planted it 2 weeks ago and says it's just beginning to show green on the horizon. Same for the Benfica I have, didn't realize that ones takes 40 days to mature or I'd have planted it earlier than Thanksgiving. Siren has started to bloom, just waiting for full blooms before I post pics. Looks like Papillo will take a while longer too. I wish I'd ordered more than 5, maybe I'll have a bigger budget next Fall...lol
Aloha, do you mind if we post more than one picture of the same plant?
mamajack & crew, thanks for making this possible, sure would love to participate again next year.
POST away!!! The more the merrier!
WOW...that is a beautiful bloom!! Good photo!
Those are so pretty! Gotta order a Giraffe next year.
thank you all for the pictures. fruitofthevine just sent me the link to here. hello everyone.
chico looks like something out of a sci-fi picture. lol.
This is Misty. A little paler than EYG's picture but likely to get larger and darker with some age. The stems are both around 24" which looks a bit odd with such small flowers but I suspect this one would look lovely massed in a garden bed.
Estella is about to pop and I can't wait to see what she is like.
Wish my Estella would do something. She got a couple of nubs then stopped. I can't seem to get her to wake up.
misty is wondrously made.
Yes...Misty is gorgeous!
aloha that is going to be gorgeous when they all make clumps. how long exactly does it take an amaryllis to do that?
These are pretty, but seriously, how many are going to be wrong? All the Santos, the one ardesia posted above, and now this one. The Red Peacocks and one Desire I ordered specifically because they were supposed to grow fast enough to give as Christmas gifts still haven't bloomed, maybe they're wrong too? Ack.
Here's the other flower on the bloom stalk of the one that's supposed to be Papillo
