Amaryllis/Hippeastrum

Is it Royal Dutch?

12 years ago

Sort of late getting back to posting this since been so busy with outside gardening. I asked for an ID on this one before. I really don't think it is Minerva like the Target box said. I have gone repeatedly to Emaryllis.com to look at all the flowers trying to guess what it is. Here is the old picture of what I posted before and later bloom pictures.

Thanks.

Hi Clare,
Now seeing the rest of your pictures, I would venture a guess that it is indeed Minerva, albiet very very pale. Now there is another look-a-like called Mambo which is Minerva incarnate with a larger white center, but since Minerva is sooo common, that what I think it is.
Hopefully, someone else will voice their opinion also..As I say, this is a guess, but if she were mine I'd label her Minerva..

Donna - Thanks for the reply. It just doesn't look like the other Minerva I have. Maybe it is a mutant Minerva. LOL
