...opening up it's first 6 inch bloom with a slight fragrance. I have never seen such thick petals too. It's lower petals seems to not open well but still very pretty specially the veining. Will have to see how the other three flowers look like. Another scape is peeking out too. Any suggestions on what would be good to cross it with? I can share some pollens too once the other flowers open...email me.

Yes it is my first round flowered Amaryllis. I kinda miss the regular shape of the Amaryllis flower where the petals are much more defined. I like it's petal thickness and slight scent though. I'm still wondering on what to cross with it. Hmmmmmmmm...

Just lovely, Maria. I like the roundness, makes it look more like a face. I didn't know certain amaryllis had fragrance. What a plus!

Update on Prelude...second scape gave out 5 flowers and a third scape is coming up. In the first scape, 3 flowers were self pollinated, the fourth one pollinated with Papilio pollen. As of today, the pod of the fourth one is a lot bigger than the other three. I'll be waiting and watching...
