@maggiemae Hippeastrums grow from large bulbs, 6 to 12 cm across which look like onions in appearance.. Hippeastrum species and cultivars produce long, strap-like, rather fleshy, mid-green leaves and magnificent, large, funnel-shaped flowers borne on strong flower stems. The flowers are made up of 6 petals, comprising 2 whorls of 3 petals, and commonly occur in shades of red, orange, white, or pink. & yellow shades, and the flowers, which open in late winter, are variously patterned. There are also double-flowered types.Unlike the Daylily the blooms last for weeks...They like frost free areas. The other red flowers in this shot are another Hippi...& a Geranium.. ")
