Well, I will probably never order another red amaryllis again as long as I live.
Yeah, I kinda went overboard. I mean, go big or go home, right?
Here's the solid red varieties I ended up ordering. We won't even mention the ones that aren't pure red:
Bogota (okay, not quite solid red) -- cybister
Dynamite -- sonata
Fanfare -- sonata
Fire Dancer -- sonatini
Karoo -- symphony
Liberty -- large single (I'm not quite sure if I get to call this a galaxy?)
Mandela -- large single (galaxy?)
Miracle -- symphony
Royal Velvet -- galaxy
Several of those were stinkin' cheap, so I couldn't resist.
I already own (in just the pure reds, not counting others):
Benfica
Red Lion
Red Pearl
Ferrari
Queen of the Night
That should give me a nice range of reds to compare with each other! The only red variety I'm still really waffling about is Florence Hecker/Hekker. Oh, and maybe Olaf. And..... it's never-ending!
