Stunning flowers, I'm so enjoying seeing them.

The Season's First Blooms
Had to add this photo of Amorice, This is from one bulb: pretty impressive!
Double Dream from Royal Colors. I think that this will end up being my favorite double this season.
Double Dream, two days later.
Challenger from White Flower Farms. Huge bloom 8 1/2 inches (22 cm) across and it opens up nearly flat. Something different.

Just took this photo this morning. I love growing Amaryllis is water, so pretty.
They're all so beautiful.
One of my rescued plants...Appleblossom.
Such nice plants all are beautiful. If I only had the room and money. But Amorice is something special, I need that one....
Loverly, all!
Here is my first bloom. Pretty sure it is Desire.
Brazza from Royal Colors. Pretty raspberry red but blooms droop.
Another photo of Brazza
Souvenir from White Flower Farm, a bold tangerine color. 8 1/2 in (22cm) bloom opens nearly flat.
This photo gives you an idea of Souvenir's size
Tiramisu from Royal Colors
Tiramisu in full bloom
Tiramisu is beautiful. Here is Aphrodite. It had 2 stems that opened one after the other, so was in bloom a long time.
This one I lost the label, so not sure what it is, but it was very tall with stout stems. Both of the two stems opened at about the same time and each had 5-6 flowers. Any ideas?
Another shot from the top.
Your pink bloom might be Hercules.
Thanks. I think I did order a Hercules from a co-op. Everyone at work really were impressed by it's size.
Shining Bells from Easy to Grow Bulbs: bloom is around 4 inches or 10cm across.

Blossom Peacock put up it second round of blooms recently, almost pure white. Nothing like the ones before, and the bulb and bud looked so strong. Next year bigger pots, without a doubt.
To all that have been showing your blooms they are all so wonderful. Amorice, Braza, and Shining Bells all blow me away, but Tiramisu, I must have it!
Seductress, also sold as Beauty Bells from Easy to Grow Bulbs
A second photo of Seductress
Grand Diva from White Flower Farms
Grand Diva, two days later.

"Kuhlschroeder" (German Production)
Beautiful photos, haweha.
Thank you Pirl!
It is ultra cool that I perceive you on this location BCZ. I wanted to NOTIFY you, that the "Papilio" that you introduced above is not only very beautifull, but it is not the original H.papilio but a hybrid with obvious parentage thereof. For me it looks like am intermediate between "Ambiance" and "Exotic Star" and THIS is, again, ultra cool LOL! How many flowers did the umbel(s) include, and did you receive seeds from these flowers OMG???!
No seeds and I didn't count the flowers but I'll go check my photos now.
Four flowers, haweha.
"Ambiance": 2 scapes 4 florets each. Raised from a daughter bulb.
"Striped Panther": 5 florets with subtle fragrance
"Exotic Star": 2 scapes, 2 and 3 florets respectively
I am so in awe, about PAPILIO hybrids.
"Kuhlmueller" 1st scape 4 florets 2nd scape 5!!!.
One Sibling of "Kuhlschroeder" (2 scapes 4 florets each). These originate from "Chico" x "Giraffe"
Hard to believe that this is another sibling but its name is designed to leave no doubt about that:
"Kuhlmeier" - that it perfectly disguises its cybister parentage, the mother being "Chico"
(And no, it is not "Melfi")
2nd scape of "Kuhlmueller" and I was in Awe.
It could be taken for a Hybrid between "Chico" and "H.papilio" - and this would make sense even, assuming that "Giraffe" is a primary hybrid - in regard to H.papilio at least.
H.aulicum v.robustum (very old bulb) and 2 x H.aulicum (Santa Catarina, seedlings)
HyerMyer - GERMAN Production
Enjoy!
