Hippeastrum papilio

Also known as the “Butterfly Amaryllis”, this attractive and unusual flower comes from Brazil. The flower measures about 18cm. from top to bottom. Very free flowering in Febuary and March, it seems very happy under glass with a minimum of 13 deg. C.

£9.00

Hippeastrum sp

I am now pretty sure that it is Hippeastrum blossfeldiae. Attractive flowers appear twice a year. Bulb and plant are smaller than most Hippeastrum, which gives them a delicate appearance although the flowers are up to 7” top to bottom.

£7.00

Hippeastrum cv

Originally grown from seed from Cuzco, Peru, it is very likely to be H. xJohnsonii, an 18 th. century hybrid which is widely distributed across the tropical and sub-tropical world. The flowers are vividly coloured and very showy, measuring about 14cm. across.
