Fitting name for these amaryllis! They are the most beautiful I've ever seen .
I planted these separately in 6" pots. The bulbs were snug in the pots. I planted them the week before Thanksgiving. The dark red bloomed first, three consecutive stalks and the last still open. The white blooms were next and so heavy I cut them for vases. Huge double flowers! The star was the apricot-coral bulb. It sent up enormous stalks, 2 at a time, three times. The gorgeous flowers started mid January and the last 2 stalks are still with flowers. These were for my elderly dad to enjoy and he sure did!
When I ordered these amaryllis bulbs, I was quite comprehensive. Due to the fact I have ordered from other places and the bulbs came to me in a rotten stage with no guarantee on them. However these bulbs came in packaged well, no rot to them. And the size of the bulbs were about the size of a baseball and were already poking their flower leaves out. I ordered quite a few and can't wait to see the outcome. It will be great to have some color in our home, while the snow and cold is outside in our Utah weather. Also, when you order the kits, they come with the container, soil packet and he bulb. All you have to do is add the water, plant the bulb and watch the beauty.
I reviewed this collection about a month or longer ago, but had few details to give at that time. The Queen of Night dark red amaryllis had a 30” tall stem with 4 large flowers. Each flower was 7” - 8” wide. It was breathtaking. There is another tall stem that will be open in a few days. The Rilona and Marilyn each have 2 stems a piece and look as if they will bloom together. I can’t say enough good things about this grouping. I have many other amaryllis bulbs that I bought this year from HBF and in total, they have 14 stems of flowers growing upward. I am beyond pleased with the quality and dedication of HBF’s bulbs. Don’t hesitate to buy them because they have the best and stand by their guarantee.
I bought this trio of bulbs before they were on sale. I planted them about 3 weeks ago and boy have they grown! The bulbs were extra large and firm. One of them now has leaves that are about 8” tall, a flower stalk with bud that is 10” tall, and it has more shoots arising from the side. The other two have multiple leaves on all sides of the bulbs that are 3 - 4 inches tall. They all are growing so fast that you can almost see them growing, no joke. I can tell a difference in their size from morning to afternoon. I am always happy to order from HBF because their bulbs and plants are top notch and if any problems do arise, they fix the problem. I’m very happy with this purchase. I just ordered 5 more bulbs that are different from these. That’s how pleased I am, plus they are on sale which is always good.
