Hippeastrum is a genus of about 70-75 species and 600+ hybrids and cultivars of bulbous plants in the family Amaryllidaceae, native to tropical and subtropical regions of the Americas from Argentina north to Mexico and the Caribbean. Some species are grown for their large showy flowers. These plants are popularly but erroneously known as Amaryllis, an African genus in the same family.
This one was "sunbathing" on my coffeetable this afternoon. When I bought her this morning she still held her leafs closed tight. The sun made her open up. I will document her path from bud to bloom.
Thank's for stopping by.
