ooooh! What a showstopper!!
Rylaff--
Your hippeastrum is stunning! Do you have an ID for it? You're so lucky to grow them in the garden.
Not sure. Someone gave it to me as a gift a couple of years ago as a houseplant. I tossed it in the bulb bed and it has not disapointed me.
It is lovely!!
Oh wow! Thats just beautiful!
Rylaff.. Looks like ' Naughty Lady' to me. I just potted up 150 of NL's last weekend and with some heta have forced them to start growing already. Some are sending up blooms even before the leaves so that cool. : )
I have a solid red.. forget the name of it off hand, but that one I leave buried in the yard and hybridize it. Gonan try crossing the NL's with it this year and see what I can come up with. Something intersting I hope. Just gonna have store the pollen cuz the yard ones come up so much later than the pot ones.
When it gets all done blooming, chill it in the fridge for about 3 months and ya can force it back open again if you have warm enough weather.
One thought--'Naughty Lady' might be another name for 'Voodoo' hippeastrum---here's another thread talking about it.... http://davesgarden.com/forums/t/495949/
This link gives another photo and some basic horticultural for NL/Voodoo
info to compare http://www.agristarts3.com/hivoo.htm
I wonder if it's the same...
could be one of the other 'star' hybrid hippeastrums too... http://images.google.com/images?q=amaryllis+star&hl=en&btnG=Google+Search
Judy I think you are right. Oh I can't wait to get my NL aka voodoo from dravencat!
Tabasco.... I think you maybe right. Plant Delight is saying the H. Voodoo is the Naughty Lady and they are usually right on top of the plant business info.
I am definately gonna get me a Papillio this year. They had some on sale at Walmart a closeout but by the time I got back with some money they was all gone.
Here is mine.
