Same plant different bloom?

18 years ago

Two years ago my neighbor gave me an Amaryllis. It did not have any identifying label. I photographed it. At that time I thought it looked more like Apple Blossom than anything else.

The plant did not bloom last year, but when it bloomed this year, I did not think it looked even remotely like Apple Blossom.

Comparing the two pictures, I would not have believed that these were from the same plant.

What do you think? Is this more likely to happen with a cross bred plant?

Here is the picture of the 2006 bloom:

Here is the 2008 bloom:

The bloom in the lower left of the 2008 picture is Minerva.

It happened with as well. This year a bulb of single produced two scapes:one bearing four single flowers and the other four semi-doubles.Two of the semi-boubles bore stigmas and were successfully crossed with Dancing Queen. The seeds produces were very healthy and I am positive that within next week they will grow as well. Let's wait for about three years to see the result.

Sarmadsaeed, that is a beautiful flower!

java, I have only seen slight variations in my flowers from year to year. I contributed my differences to change in climate, sun/shade or location. It is interesting how many flowers of the same lable differ for example from mine in Florida to Jodi's in IL and Maria's in VA. But I have never seen the same plant bloom with such different colors from year to year as yours has!
