Today I decided to combine the two challenges (Black and White Friday and What Color Do You Think I Am?).
Amaryllis is one of the few houseplants that blooms in winter with its large trumpet-shaped flowers.
Professional gardeners know that the amaryllis we buy in florists and garden centers actually belongs to the genus Hippeastrum. Dozens of representatives of this genus grow in the tropics of Central and South America, while the true amaryllis (Amaryllis belladonna) originates from South Africa. But for us laymen, it will be enough to talk about a knight star or amaryllis.
On a long, hollow, bare stem, usually longer than 30 cm, the amaryllis bears two to six flowers, trumpet-shaped. The flowers are fiery red, pink, salmon-colored, orange, and white, sometimes multicolored or with colored veins.

Beautiful flower! I have several pots with amaryllis, but mine bloomed in the spring.
Mine bloomed in December. I took this picture in the park.
should i be hurt that once again my color wasn’t on the list? 🙂
it’s probably good because this time you tried to trick me by having a picture of a deck of cards instead of a flower.
Ha – caught you in the act 🙂
The deck of cards is a nice cerulean blue by the by!
You “caught” me in the act again. I thought I would succeed this time. 😊 I will be able to trick you one day. 😃
that is true, you will be able to trick me one day.
but not this time! 🙂
I have noticed that it is very difficult to deceive you. 🙂
A wise man once said you can lead a horse to water but you can’t make him drink.
I am the water!
You are too smart for me. 😃
You gave this away. You did not mention yellow in the post in order to hide the fact that the picture is yellow
haha … Observe well, I will post the original picture soon.
I went with pink. They will be gorgeous, I just know they will.
Thanks for guessing. You will soon learn the right color.
Even without color, it is beautiful and I am guessing the flower is red
Thanks for guessing. I will post the correct color soon.
