Amaryllis (Hippeastrum)
Plant of the Day
Wednesday 19 February 2025
Part of the displays at the David Welch Winter Gardens in Duthie Park, Aberdeen, were a range of Hippeastrum cultivars (amaryllis). These tender bulb needs to be planted in a container indoors in a colder climate, from October to January. The bulbs should flower about six to eight weeks after planting, and provided the foliage is allowed to produce energy for another bulb and there is a cooler rest period it will flower the next winter. A friend of mine has kept the same plant for over 40 years!

Hero Form Appearance: An outfit that’s a mix of critic wear and YuYuYu’s outfit style. The outfit is predominantly red, mirroring that of the flower. However, green, pink, white, silver, black, and gold balance out those colors as being shown in the sleeves, and so does cyan- which helps to not overpower the outfit. The Amaryllis’ petal shape is seen in the tops of the shoes, the tailcoat, and collar. A single red Amaryllis hairclip serves as adornment.

“An amaryllis is always waiting to delight and surprise you, even when your world seems cold and dark.” ― Susan Meissner, Only the Beautiful.
Hippeastrum I thought was probably dead unexpectedly sprang a few tentative buds while I was away over the New Year's.
Now there's this. Lovely<3
