This post 'Exotic Star' - Amaryllis, Hippeastrum was originally uploaded by Tyra Hallsénius-Lindhe in the blog Tyras Trädgård/Tyra's Garden
Winter flowers - My January blooms on the windowsills are all the different Amaryllises or should I call them by their botanical name, Hippeastrums
This one is called Exotic Star (Gracilis Amayllis - Hippeastrum) and it sure looks very Exotic, don't you agree? I planted this bulb in late October and just before Christmas the first flower opened and revealed it's Exotic beauty. It is now the 2nd of January and it is still 'in floribus'
"For many years there was confusion amongst botanists over the generic names Amaryllis and Hippeastrum, one result of which is that the common name "amaryllis" is mainly used for cultivars of this genus, which are widely used as indoor flowering bulbs. The generic name Amaryllis applies to bulbs from South Africa, usually grown outdoors." Wikipedia

So beautiful! I don't know where is something wrong, but when I try open your Greenhouseblogg my firewall don't allow to open it - program says, there is malware in your blogg...?!?
Inkivääri - Det är vissa som inte kan se den. Jag har en dator på jobbet som också ger det meddelandet, lite mysko. Jag tror det beror på vad man har för virusskydd. Norton fungerar det utmärkt. Tack för att du hörde av dig.

Nämen, nu blir jag alldeles förbryllis - en polkagrisrandig amaryllis!
Underbara bilder :-)
God fortsättning på det nya året!
'Exotic Star' is a perfect name for her Tyra. I ahhve just treated myself to 'Mont Blanc' - just have to find a pot to plant her in.
Hej Tyra!!
Vill bara säga att jag länkar till dig och ditt fina växthus idag i ett inlägg som handlar om egenbyggda växthus på Sv. trädgårdsbloggar :-))
Ha en fin dag!
Kram
