small flower but still quite noticeable in the garden
I can't remember what this one is
Hmm voss, the form looks like Promise, maybe the colour on this pic is a little pale?

It's a gorgeous colour!
I don't remember getting Promise, but it looks like it.
Even if you didn't get Promise, well, you know how you can get the wrong one!
I think it's Blossom Peacock from B&B
Blossom Peacock is the one I would have expected it to be, but side by side the petals don't look as broad as yours and there is more white in the centre.

Maybe it was a substitute as they are similar.
Notice on the IBS there are two different pics from different people, the bottom one looks like royalcolors BP, the top is more like yours, another subs?

W, I agree w/ you on observations made re: 2 diff. pics in bulbsociety. I do remember buying from B&B and they have carried Blossom Peacock in the Past. But who knows for sure. It is so frustrating sometimes to rely too much on pictures. My Dancing Queen has sometimes bloomed very red and some other times an orangey-red. I have two pics of the same plant and you'd never say it's the same amaryllis if you saw the two pics side by side.
Oh well, no big deal. This one will be my 'lil pretty hippie'
Promise blooms are HUGE! Even when they are smaller than usual, they are larger than the normal Blossom Peacock.
It is hard to tell from your picture, but I can tell you that Blossom Peacock varies from bloom to bloom.
This is a bloom from a very tiny offset, so tiny that I was surprised to see it bloom.
Vossner, here is my 'Blossom Peacock" from the Brent and Becky sale in Nov for 6.00. Mine was grown inside and bloomed in mid March. The color is softer with less striation, however the second stalk was not as pale as the first. This is the darker second one. They were on the smaller size. But the shape seems correct. Patti
