this morning i found this , this morning in the kitchen window
help me with its name, look close.

Let it open up all the way and in about 3 days post another photo of it. The mature bloom is easier to ID.

Hmmmm. Maybe Pyjama Party or Ruby Star? Are there stripes on the backside of the petals? Hard to tell from the photo, but is there any green in that flower?

ok you ask for it here it is

I believe that Christie is absolutely right. This could be Opal Star or Ruby Star. The two are considered siblings that are virtually identical, and sold interchangeably. emaryllis.com has posted the photo of Ruby Star. I have posted a photo of Opal Star on the NGA database. Depending on the light, the white areas look more of a very pale green. This is my all-time favorite cultivar for planting in the Southern garden. It is foolproof and hardy, and produces more blooms with each passing year.

Yes, I do see a hint of green in there. I did not know that the two are interchangeable - very interesting!

after pulling up both ruby and opal i'm going to say its closer to the ruby star.
thanks for looking and commenting .
