Amaryllis/Hippeastrum

My 'Holiday' window.

These community pots of "Exotic Star", "Evergreen", and "La Paz" have been blooming profusely with multiple scapes and flowers for over a month now. They put on quite an impressive display over the holidays. I was surprised that the pot of "Exotic Star" had many scapes with 4 flowers and several of them actually pushed up 4 scapes.

Jim..Wow!! What a sight!! Last year my Exotic Star had 3 scapes with 4 flowers each,..but only 1 scape at a time.. this year not so prolific, but your blooms are amazing..my La Paz turned out to be Sumatra, I'll try again next year.
And there you are filling up those lovely deep window sills again...

Congratulations!
That was it worth, absolutely, to become revealed to the amazed community; you can CLEARLY perceive how well these exotic looking DIP hybrids - that these are still closely related to the wild species - FIT TOGETHER.
