My Naked Ladies (Amaryllis belladonna) are blooming right now in my Carmichael yard, and they were also blooming (some just spiking) in Mendocino during my trip a couple weeks ago. I wanted to point out this website showing pics of a wide variety of Naked Lady hybrids. The link appeared at the end of a recent S.F. Chronicle article. My friend, Weeder, has some and I wonder if they're as tough as A. belladonna. They're pretty... and tempting to someone who doesn't just garden, but also collects. Pictured above is a variety growing in Weeder's garden. x Amarcrinum?
Gorgeous hot pink blooms!
ReplyDeleteThose bright pink babies are bloomin' again, yes! And contrary to "fussy, may not bloom for 3 years after being moved", there is one blooming in a pot...which it had been placed in last fall. I'm also seeing a white one in yet another pot..where the heck did that come from?
ReplyDeletePerhaps next year my bulbs will actually come up...that would be year #3!
