Flowers not as large as most Amaryllis, but masses of blooms.

Beautiful. I thought it was Schizostylis in the thumbnail. Same colour and similar flower. :)

Thanks Ck. This is growing inside, and the flowers are much bigger. My Schiztostylus (Hesperanthus) are pink, not flowering yet.

I love them all, the pink, white and red ones. Mine are red. I brought some with me from the old garden, but there were some here when I move in! So now I have five clumps. Have just moved one clump in to the pond edge.

Are your Schizostylis flowering now Ck? Never seen a white one, post a pic when it flowers, please.

No Siris, sorry I only actually have Red! The one in the pond is flowering. The other clumps aren't yet.

Is it actually on a pond shelf, ie feet in the water? Ck

Yes. They like boggy soil and are often sold as pond edge plants Siris. :) but i've never had a problem growing them in ordinary border soil. They are very adaptable!

Hb, The bulb I sent is of flowering size, but they have finished for this year. Much smaller bulbs than the Amaryllis we get at Xmas.
