The second scape on my Dancing Queen amaryllis fully opened yesterday, and it's just as pretty as the first round. This is such a glorious flower, and there is still a third scape to come!
When I posted about this bulb when the first scape opened, I mistakenly called it Aphrodite. That was a reasonable thing to do, since Aphrodite was what I ordered. However, after browsing pictures online, I realized that this was yet another mislabeled bulb. It's actually Dancing Queen. Aphrodite is similar but not as streaky and vibrant.
Doesn't matter to me, I really like it and didn't have one already. But I wish the bulb growers and/or middle men and/or resellers would get their acts together and stop mixing up the varieties. Four of the six that have bloomed so far this year have been mislabels.
