"Tinkerbell" 5-10-23

Amaryllis

"This gorgeous Amaryllis is made from faith, trust, and pixie dust! A lovely addition to the indoor-blooming clan, Tinkerbell carries the essence of Never Never Land anywhere she goes. Her flowers are clad in coral pink with softer whispers and delicately rippled edges. Not to mention, this sassy and sweet cultivar yields 2 to 3 stems per bulb, each with 5 to 6 blossoms!

As you can see, Tinkerbell's pixie dust is guaranteed to make you forget about the cold winter days and bring visions of warmer weather. Grow these low-maintenance beauties for spectacular holiday centerpieces or as year-round green houseplants. Oh, and they'll happily bloom in mid-spring outdoors in zones 9 to 11."

Unfortunately, we live in USDA growing zone 5a; so, it gets far, far too cold for me to try to grow my Amaryllis outdoors except in the pots in summertime. But this makes a spectacular indoors potted, heavily flowering plant. Each, individual flower lasts a week to 10 days or sometimes more.

**********************

The above flowers in the photo are all from one bulb. There originally were 3 stems with 6 more flowers on a "bloomed out" 3rd stalk. Plus, two more flowers (also bloomed out and removed) on one of the remaining stalks. This plant has produced a total of 19 flowers!!! This is the most floriferous Amaryllis that I've ever grown. The flowers are NOT tiny. It's blooming in just a little pot.
