Second Flamed Amadeus Amaryllis Stem - February 2026

Mid-December, this Flamed Amadeus Amaryllis was sending up its first stem and flower.  By early January, it was in bloom.  After the bloom faded, I cut the whole thing back to the bulb.  So far, there has been no strap-y foliage emerge from the bulb.  But, a second stem has shot up.  And is now about a foot-tall.  Below is a look at the Flamed Amadeus bud.  We'll get flowers in a week or so, I suspect:

Of the two we grew this year, this Flamed Amadeus Amaryllis is about three-weeks ahead of the Shine Dream.  Looks-wise, I prefer the Shine Dream.  Dare I say it is my favorite Amaryllis I've ever grown?  But, this Flamed Amadeus is MUCH SHORTER and compact.  That's pretty nice.  The Shine Dream is VERY tall - despite using a little alcohol in the water mix.
