"Pretty" Nymph 4-21-23

Amaryllis

The bulb was labeled "Pretty Nymph, which is "Ruffled pink-and-white blossoms. Each petal intricately traced with dark veining and brushed with pure white down the center."

***************************************

I don't know if the above description fits exactly. I don't think so... The one above seems to be more red than pink. Plus it doesn't have a ruffled edge. Another mislabeled bulb??? I think so.

This is how my older "Pretty Nymph" looks: https://pbase.com/britestar/image/173494806 Quite a difference.

Nevertheless, in real life, the above plant is still one of the prettier Amaryllis varieties. I'm glad I have it. The negative is that it grows very tall. However, the blossoms are quite large, making this a balanced plant. Whatever its true identity, I really like it.
