Description


Happy Birthday Barbara! Amaryllis is a bulbous plant, with each bulb being 2 to 4 inches (5 to 10 cm) in diameter. The leaves are produced in the autumn or early spring in warm climates depending on the onset of rain and eventually die down by late spring. The bulb is then dormant until late summer. From the dry ground in late summer each bulb produces one or two leafless stems 1 to 2 feet (30 to 60 cm) tall, each of which bears a cluster of 2 or more funnel shaped flowers at their tops. Each flower is 2 to 4 inches (6 to 10 cm) in diameter with six tepals (three outer sepals, three inner petals, with similar appearance to each other). The usual color is white with crimson veins, but pink or purple also occur naturally. The common name "naked lady" stems from the plant's pattern of flowering when the foliage has died down. There is an "Amaryllis Belladonna Hybrid" which was bred in the 1800s in Australia. No one knows the exact species it was crossed with to produce color variations of white, cream, peach, magenta and nearly red hues. Photo taken this weekend. Zoom for the best look at the pistil and stamens. Thanks for stopping by, taking a look and for all your previous favs and comments. They are very much appreciated. Dana
