After the Christmas Holidays, White Flower Farm had an amazing sale on Amaryllis bulbs. They were more than 50% off. I took that opportunity to buy 4 bulbs. If your on a budget like myself, and love high quality Amaryllis bulbs, but don't want to spend a fortune, I highly recommend buying these on sale from them because the quality just can't be beat. I've been potting the bulbs up around 3 weeks apart, so that I can get consecutive blooms. This one is called Nymph, it has beautiful double petaled creamy white flowers with a hint of pink. I'm wondering if this variety is a hybrid, because I didn't notice an obvious stigma or stamen. I didn't see any so I couldn't try to pollinate the flower to produce seeds. Also, unlike the Samba, it didn't grow any leaves or grow a tall flowering stalk. The stalk is very short and stubby. As you can see, it's only grew a stalk about 7 inches tall. There is another bud shooting up so hopefully that one will grow taller. Does anyone know, are these hybrids?
Sorry - don't know much about those flowers, but they're stunning!
