I apologize for temporarily turning this site into You Grow Girl: The Amaryllis Story, but I promise you I have more posts on other topics on the go. Until then, as promised, here are a few photos of the ‘Green Dragon’ amaryllis.
And here are the flowers with red streaks down the centre of each petal. As previously mentioned, I don’t believe this is a bulb mix-up, but rather some kind of variation that occurred. I quite like it!
It’s quite pretty! I’m partial to the smaller Amaryllis varieties, one of my favourites is Trentino ‘Peach Sonatini’ it has a lime green throat, cream flowers with just a touch of peach on the edges of the petals.

I wish Amaryllis blossoms lasted longer..
Meighan: Oh wow. Now I want that one! Yes, I am really loving the Sonatini bulbs.
They last longer if you move them to a cooler spot directly after the blooms open.
Oooh – she’s gorgeous.
I can’t help but swoon a little over green flowers… there’s just something about them! Thanks for the photos!
Oh you can post as many as you like – I am swooning over them. Just wish I could get mine to flower…..
The color is nice, but I think I like the wavy quality of the petals the most.
