I got this Jumbo Susan amaryllis bulb from BB about 3 weeks ago. It is already budded and blooming it's pretty little head off.
In fact I knocked one of the blossoms off when moving it around. :(
It doesn't look like the pictures posted in the plant files though, so I was wondering if there was something wrong with it.
Susan (kittymom) LOL
=^..^=
Here is a picture of the blossom that was knocked off. It is in front of the betta tank so that Blue Blazes can enjoy it. LOL
Yes, I am strange.

It looks a lot like the one on the Parks page though....it may just be a young bulb...I don't have that one, but it is a nice color!
After looking on several other sites, it seems there may be more than one that is called Susan....I also found a very deep pink one that is not a large flower, along with the one that looks more like your shade of pink and is a very large flower....
I remember last year I got so confused trying to ID some of mine.
Did any of your seeds grow into bulbs? I think I told you I have over fifty. They are so cool! LOL I am bringing them in for the Winter this week. Have to fix them a spot.
I think there is some confusion about Susan. The bulb that I had, labeled Susan, produced a solid pink flower. So is your's the real Susan, is mine the real Susan, are they different Susan's, or are they both the famous cultivar called "Who Knows". I just looked in Veronica Read's book, and she describes Susan as "rose-pink on a whitish background, with a lime green throat lined with a ring of red dots", if that's any help. That sounds more like your bloom, than my bloom.
