Amaryllis Fun
(L to R) Christmas Star, Picotee, Royal Velvet Amaryllises
I grew four varieties of amaryllis this winter. Somehow I missed getting a picture of Pink Surprise. It was extraordinarily beautiful, I promise you. Sorry you missed it.
Christmas Star was a heavy bloomer, short and neat
Picotee - Where's the beef?
Picotee is reputed to have a purple picotee edge on the flowers. What a bunch of malarkey! It has a light pink picotee edge and stands in nicely for a white amaryllis. I am still enthusiastic about Picotee. It is strong and tall and already producing babies.
Royal Velvet is exactly like it's name!
