Sprekelia formosissima


Sprekelia formosissima

This isn't the most reliable bloomer, or else I would have dozens open. I really need to divide it up.

Stunning.

Beautiful/elegant. I had to look it up as its new to me. Something not to pass up.

I don't remember where I got this from, it was a long time ago. But it is huge and not easy to miss.

Mine bloomed really well this year. I may be imagining it but they seem to perform better after a long cold winter, admittedly dry and frost free in my shed.

I was lucky it bloomed again and I was able to make a cross with a xHippeastrelia (already a cross between Hippeastrum and Sprekelia), and now have a couple of new little bulbs growing.
I don't understand the need for a really cold winter because it originally comes from Mexico. I intend to redo half of my front yard this winter, and I am going to put these in the ground and see how they do.
