Amaryllis belladonna 'Fred Meyer White'


Amaryllis belladonna 'Fred Meyer White'

Time for the Amaryllis show to begin. There are 19 flowers in each head. This is Amaryllis, the species; and does very well in the ground, here. It likes dry, warm summers, and with a little rain, this pops up. The pink types are still dormant, but should start to put up scapes in the next few weeks.

Daffodils don't do very well here. They last a couple of years and fade away because it is too warm. Jonquils do much better. I like peonies, but it's too warm. Same with tulips and frittilarias. No to Cherries, pines, firs and Northern Hardy Daylilies.
