It's the amaryllis season now. All my mature plants have been blooming since February.
This week, I have these showing off their pretty faces in my living room.
Candy floss
Pink salmon
Exotica x Dancing queen
And some new hybrids whose parents are unknown to me. I grew them from seeds given by friends from Gardenweb.
I like amaryllis for their easy-to-grow and gorgeous blooms.

Amaryllis blooms

Amaryllis parade
Half of my seedlings from Ann has now showed off their beautiful face. So far, this season, I have 8 new crosses blooming for me. To my best guessing, they are crosses made from Charisma, Exotica, Bolero back in 2007. They have shown very interesting traces of their parentage.
From possibly Charisma as one of the parents, I have this bloom. Notice the picotee edge and tiny dots on the blooms.
This one, however, clearly shows traces of Exotica and Charisma. What present here are the visible veins, a characteristic of Exotica and the dots of Charisma.

Out of these blooming amaryllis, I have also made a few crosses. It's so much fun to make all these cross-pollinations.
