Amaryllis/Hippeastrum

RE:new bloom not like pic

15 years ago

I bought 6 amaryllis bulbs a while ago and placed 3 per pot. They are starting to bloom but not like the picture that came with the bulbs. The pic shows a clear pink bloom with a white star. The name on the package just said garden pink. They are blooming a bright coral with a red star and pinkish midribs! Does that sound like anything you have seen!? Just curious....... I planted them in pots because I wanted to be sure of the color.

Sounds like the WalMart grab bag. Walmart sells inexpensive bulbs labeled only as "red" or "pink" - that still frequently turn out to be mislabeled.

I bought a bulb from Wally World and it showed a coral bloom. Well it bloomed this year, half the size of the rest of my Amaryllis the bulb is smaller as well as the leaves and the bloom. It is a very pretty flower, Orange with light lines in the vaines and a yellow star center with only 2 blooms. I do love and as any new color is just fine with me. The next time I plant the seeds I need to make sure they do not become snail food. Lost all my seedlings last year. So not new plants this year form over 40 seedlings.
