Rilona Amaryllis in Bloom With Salmon-Colored Petals - January 2023
It is still Amaryllis season in our house with three different varieties all working on their own (different) schedules in terms of bloom time. The fastest one - out of the gate - was the La Paz . It is a Spider Amaryllis and has a different look than the traditional spade-shaped-petals of most Amaryllis that we've grown. Our La Paz Amaryllis bloomed in mid-December . And is still putting out blooms today. Pretty good. The next one - the feature of this post - is the Rilona Amaryllis. This is another unique (to me) bulb in that it isn't red and it isn't white. And it isn't red and white. It is salmon-colored. And quite lovely. Doesn't have the same OOOMPH that a dark red one does, but still a really lovely flower and the color sure brighten ups the dark days around here in January. Reminds me of the Disneyland Rose . Here's a post showing the three bulbs when we bought them at Wannemakers . Here's a post just about a month ago showing the 3 bulbs
