These will be a series of pictures (lots) sent to me by Mr. Paul Romjin of Royal Colors to be shared to you all. The Annual Flower Festival in Keukenhof is currently open.

Mr. Romjin said that here, hippeastrum breeders and growers display their best and new varieties. I requested him to take pics to be shared and he did. I will try to post as much pics as DG will allow me to at the moment.
Enjoy and thank you so much Mr. Romjin!!!

You're very welcome raydio! I am taking a break for now and will post more pics later. It is such a beautiful day and some of the ammies are outside and enjoying the warmth and sun. I think I'll be joining them...
More to come!
Oh that green one in picture 3! Thanks so much for sharing these mouthwatering beauties!
Wonder if that's Evergreen, kniph?
Love the yellow in #9 and pastel one in the lower right of #10.
What a lovely spring parade.

OMG, I've never seen an amaryllis show! Isn't this amazing! Thank so much Maria and please thank Paul! What a treat!
oh my! comment on pic #3, the dark trumpet-like is awesome. What do you suppose is the white stuff in the clear vases?
WOW!!! Thanks for the photos! Amazing!
Hello everyone! I'm back finally. Sorry for taking too long. I still need to keep my job...lol! Aren't they just awesome displayed like this? I'm very glad that you all are enjoying the pics.
Ohhhh everybody likes that "black beauty" in pic #5. It is such a show stealer!
The green one looks like Evergreen or San Miguel? I really can't tell till I get to see Evergreen in person. Hopefully soon. My San Miguel did not bloom to good for the bulb I received was not in it's best condition.
I particularly like how they displayed the miniatures in pic#10.
Vossner...I have been thinking about what that white rope-like thing in the vases. It's a lot prettier than the green floral "sponge" that florists use.
Anyway, you are all very welcome and Paul also said the same. Here's the next batch of pics...

Fantastic presentation, I love the way they've displayed the flowers, using leaves and even feathers! Wonderful.
sure seems like the smaller flower ones are all the rage in the show. They are all magnificent.
Thank you for posting the picture,they were wonderful.
If I win the lotto, that is how I'll plant my collection...lol! At least 3 bulbs of a variety in a pot. What a show!
I think the miniatures will finally have their shot in the market which have been dominated by the large flowering varieties for years. They really are very pretty in their own little way. They require lesser growing space. Most of them produce more scapes/bulb and more flowers/scape thus you have a longer blooming time.
Next batch of pics...
