Amaryllis/Hippeastrum

Neon Rose

10 years ago

Hi Folks,

This is a picture of Neon Rose in my office at work. I have had her for three years now and she never disappoints me. The little yellow flowering plant next to her is primulina (chirita) Aiko. There's nothing better that having some color in your office if at all possible, it makes me feel a little more cheery and happy.

Warm Regards,

Fred

Your Neon Rose is beautiful! Neon is one of my favorites - the color is outstanding. Mine have not started their spring blooming yet, but like you said, Neon Rose never disappoints. Thanks also for introducing me to another new (for me) plant. Hope spring comes early for you. - J

I lived in Cambridge some years ago (20 or so). I didn't grow Hippeastrum at the time, but they would have been very welcome in the long winter. Instead I usually grew some paperwhite narcissus in my office to have some hope of spring.

Love the color and it is always nice to have beautiful flowers in your office...I use to grow African Violets and they worked out well at my office. A great way to put a smile on my face when new flowers would open...I will have to see if I can find any Neon Rose bulbs as I really like it! :)

Hi Calshaye,

Thank you for the nice comment. The last of the blooms are about to fade and I'll be switching it with something else shortly.

Warm Regards,

Fred
