This is the first green amaryllis I've ever bloomed. I do have another, Green Dragon, that I got last year, but it was a very small bulb and hasn't bloomed for me yet.
This one was a request from Emma, who was enchanted at the thought of a green flower. And it really is green! Sort of a pale chartreuse lime, shading to darker in the middle. Very pretty.
This is one of the Cybister varieties of amaryllis so the flowers are fairly small, about 4 inches in diameter. However, there are nine (NINE!) flowers on this scape, and another scape on the way.
I like it very much. I'm a little worried about the bulb, though, because it hasn't grown any roots yet and two floriferous scapes is a lot of stress on an unrooted bulb. Depending on how much the bulb shrivels, I may cut off the second scape to let it recover.
