Hip--hip--hippeastrum!

I'm doing that good-gardener thing and logging my amaryllis cultivars in order to remember them when I resuscitate the bulbs next year, or, more likely, order new ones.

So here is "Naughty Lady" (who names these things?):

And the stunner: "Rainbow":

which is far more stunning than my meager little photos can show. A double (at least) multi-budded big flower display that breaks your heart with its beauty.

Another shot:

More to come, as they continue to bloom...
