I wonder if Rimma saw this thread. She posted a picture of an heirloom that her mother grew in Russia; looks very similar to a few of the flowers on your post!

My grandmother had a huge pot of striatum, that was the first amaryllis I ever saw.

I want to inform all of you that I wrote a link where available Page in English, that you all were able to see the available information. This page will be updated. :)

They are all so beautiful! I love the red one a lot.
I have one that looks like âÂÂCreole Lady (NON)âÂÂ. I love it.
It was very interesting to read the information on how and when the first bulbs were introduced to Russia, thank you.
