| Brent and Becky had this on special a few weeks ago,and it intrigues me. 4 of the 5 bulbs came up, and the first two are blooming. Is is called a Mexican Amaryllis, but the name is Sprklelia formosissimo.

| Thanks for looking. Two of the four have bloomed, and they just put up the spike and bloomed. It is such a bright red. I think maybe something White might make it pop even more. |
