Amaryllis belladonna, Callicore rosea Family: Amaryllidaceae / Liliaceae Belladonna Lily, March Lily, Naked Lady Origin: South Africa          The large clusters of scented, trumpet-shaped pink or white flowers are carried on a long purplish-red and green stem appearing 50cm above the soil. Up to twelve flowers are produced from the flowering stem. These flowers are 10cm long and apically flare open about 8cm. The inflorescence tends to face the direction that receives the most sun. The strap-like leaves are deciduous and are produced after flowering. |  |

 | Haemanthus albiflos Family: Amaryllidaceae / Liliaceae Paint Brush Origin: South Africa   It is a very variable plant. The oblong leaves vary in colour from pale to dark green or greyish-green and are usually smooth and sometimes shiny. The flower head is compact, and consists of numerous erect, narrow white flowers, enclosed by several broad, greenish-white bracts. The erect stamens protrude conspicuously beyond the tips of the flowers and their anthers turn bright yellow or orange when ripe. Unlike other Haemanthus species, these bulbs are almost evergreen, quite often retaining their leaves throughout the season. |  |

 H. m. subsp. katherinae | Haemanthus katherinae, Scadoxus multiflorus, Haemanthus multiflorus Family: Amaryllidaceae / Liliaceae Blood Lily, Sea Egg, Powder Puff Origin: Africa    Quite superb bulbous plant with large, wavy-margined, deep green leaves than can be up to 18" long and 6" wide, and bearing spectacular, dense, globular shaped heads, 10" across, of scores of starry, scarlet flowers. The blood lily rises from a flattened bulb about the size and shape of a hockey puck. The bulb, its outer scales spotted with red, is responsible for the common name - the flecks reminded an imaginative botanist of blood. The flowering stalk's speed of growth is not unlike that of the amaryllis, to which the blood lily is related. Scadoxus multiflorus subsp. katherinae is very robust, clump-forming bulb with up to 200 red flowers from spring to summer. |  H. m. subsp. katherinae |

 | Hippeastrum sp. Family: Amaryllidaceae / Liliaceae Amaryllis Origin: Tropical South America    The Amaryllis is a true tender bulb. It performs best when grown under warm (70 to 75 F) temperatures for 9 to 10 months to promote flowering and vegetative growth, followed by 2 to 3 months of either cool dry storage or cool growing conditions. The use of one of the latter conditions is required to promote reflowering of the bulb. Of all flowering bulbs, amaryllis are the easiest to bring to bloom. This can be accomplished indoors or out, and over an extended period of time. The large flowers and ease with which they can be brought to bloom make amaryllis popular and in demand worldwide. The amaryllis comes in many beautiful varieties including various shades of red, white, pink, salmon and orange. There are also many striped and multicolored varieties, usually combining shades of pink or red with white. Planting Period: October until the end of April. Flowering Period: Late December until the end of June. Flowering time is 7-10 weeks. The base and roots of the bulb should be placed in lukewarm water for a few hours. Remember, if you cannot plant the bulbs immediately after receiving them, store them at a cool temperature between 40-50 degrees F. Plant the bulb up to its neck in the potting mix, being careful not to damage the roots. Press the soil down firmly to set the bulb securely in place after planting. Plant bulbs 8 weeks before you would like them to bloom. Do not store amaryllis bulbs in a refrigerator that contains apples, this will sterilize the bulbs. Clean the bulb and place it in a cool (40-50 deg. F), dark place such as the crisper of your refrigerator for a minimum of 6 weeks. Store the bulbs for a minimum of 6 weeks. After the amaryllis has stopped flowering, it can be made to flower again. Cut the old flowers from the stem after flowering, and when the stem starts to sag, cut it back to the top of the bulb. |  |

 Nerine sarniensis | Nerine sp. Family: Amaryllidaceae / Liliaceae Jersey Lily,Guernsey Lily, Spider Lily Origin: South Africa Outside of their native habitats, nerines are best grown in pots. When in active growth, they need full sun to light shade for good flowering. Pot in a somewhat gritty mix that allows good drainage but which will protect the bulb from excessive dehydration during its dry dormant period. An interesting aspect of the culture of nerines is that many of the species do not need much fertilizer. Nerine sarniensis is widely considered to be the most beautiful of all the nerines, and it has an equally colourful history. The often-told, but unlikely tale of how boxes of bulbs of South Africa's most famous Nerine, consigned for Holland, were cast away from a sinking ship in 1659 and took root and flourished on the shores of Guernsey in the Channel Islands, has become something of a botanical legend. Whatever the truth is regarding the arrival of Nerine sarniensis on Guernsey, its bulbs have been cultivated there for more than three centuries, and continue to be grown there for their cut flowers. |  Nerine sarniensis |
