What's In Bloom Today Part 10

Time for a new thread..

We came from here http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/t/1067463/#new

My NOID is fully open now.

Here's my first blooms for this year, this one came from my mom, not sure if it's a Red Lion or not, but usually reaches at least 30" and the blooms are over 6" across..

and my Aphrodite:

And new for this year, Blossom Peacock:

A new one for me From Simple Pleasures, bought this one at a nursery while in AZ. for the Holidays. Named Gold Medal

This photo is more true to color, it is orangy red if that makes any sense!

is it actually 2 colored? with a orange shading to a red? or is it just the way the moniter shows it? very nice, either way!

I have a few in bloom now including Exotica, Green Dragon, Desire, Neon Rose ???, and Belladona( A Hippeastrum cultivar not to be confused with Amaryllis Belladonna the species)

No, it is a dark reddish-orange but it is hard to get a correct color in a photo!

I just have a few more bulbs that haven't bloomed. Samba from White Flower Farms. This Samba looks identical to my photos of Prelude. So either its a substitution or Samba and Prelude are the same cultivar sold under 2 different names.

Aphrodite from White Flower Farms. This photo was taken when it first opened. I noticed that the pink deepens as it ages.

Aphrodite, a few days later

Aphrodite is lovely. That's one I don't have yet. Right now I have La Paz, Appleblossom and one I think is Flaming Peacock blooming at work.

Looks much better :)

Shangri-la from White Flower Farms. I can't find any independant information on this cultivar, and haven't seen it from any other supplier.

My last winter Amaryllis, Summertime from White Flower Farm.

A new one for me this year, I love it!!
Zombie

Another new one, I am a little disappointed in this one did not think it was a minature. Maybe it will do better next time!!!
Pasadena

Rene,

I have never thought of Pasadena as a miniature. The blooms are not as large as some of the other doubles, but they are normal in size for a hybrid. Pasadena blooms vary somewhat from year to year, but they do bloom consistently nearly every year for me. With some care, you can count on them being exceptionally pretty next year. Pasadena is one of my favorites...

Ann

Thanks Ann our severe winter also might have had something to do with it! They are so slow this year!
Lorine

Lorine,

Our winter started out milder than usual, but January hit hard with an unusual low of 17 degrees and February through early March was not nice at all. I won't know how many subtropicals I lost for another month or so. They can all be replaced, but it will take awhile before they are as plentiful as before.

As I watched the weather, I noted that you have had it worse because many tropicals are not at all tolerant of the frost/freezes that you experienced this year.

Your Pasadena bulbs do appear to be stunted somewhat. There is no doubt in my mind that they will be much prettier next year.

Old fashion amaryllis.

NOID.

Gezzzz...It's been a while. Life gets too busy for me.

Here's some that I can share that has bloomed for me in my files.

Luna...beautiful green one.
