Ridiculously big and ridiculously beautiful

In pure Texas fashion, the Dancing Queen blooms are gigantic. I broke the stem while attempting to stake it and brought it inside. Blooms last a long time, this one's over a week old.

Here is Royal Velvet, blooms are a bit past their prime. Last year I got one scape, this year I got 3!

and here is ridiculously red! h. Johnsonii. Growth was stunted this year, but I don't get too uptight over that. Instead I cut it off and brought it indoors

H. Green Goddess, purchased 2 years ago at the B&B fall sale

another view, showing its trumpet form

h. Jewel, a beautiful double, smaller than White Nymph, but no less beautiful

h. Jewel, a closeup

I believe this is h. Double Record, paired with Double Red Knockout rose

WOW! Gorgeous blooms... inciting more than a touch of zone envy here at the idea of being able to grow amaryllis outside. Mine will be going into the deck bed for the summer soon....

Thanks for sharing your lovelies! You have a great eye for arranging them, too.... love that little red vase!

:-)

beautiful Vossner !

Fantastic plants, each one is a beauty.

Voss--your crop of hippeastrums are so voluptuous this season! t.

Wow!! I wish I had the touch.I have crenium(sp), and amarillis(sp), and the only bloom I have ever seen, was when I bought the plant.The folage will come up, never a flower.I know it can't be any thing but me.Mike

Love 'em, Nery! Great collection of beauties you've got going!

Thanks, everybody. I'm still a little peeved that no blooms on my Papilio, but I do have buds on 2-3 plants so, I just need to be patient, I guess.

Yesterday I had Picotee and Charisma in full splendor. ahhh.

Oooooooooooooooh......gorgeous!!!

Charisma, a bit past its prime

mmm...Royal Velvet looks so rich!

Now Dancing Queen is being ridiculously floriferous! This is round two.

What is this one? Smallish flower, but no less attractive
