This was supposed to be pink Estella. What is it going to be???

One more.

Boojum,that second one is going to be a knockout.Is that Black Pearl?
Here is Rembrandt Van Rijn,better known as RVR.It is blooming on a tall scape.I see some Papilio in it's background.

I don't know what it is. The buds are quite small.

The black red is taking it's time but look who opened today!! Mr. Hughes!!! (I'm not too excited!!) It's so species.

Taken with a flash. I hope to get some in sunlight soon.

My thoughts exactly.Mine is just taking up a pot that could be used for something better.

Hey if it bloomed for me, it can bloom for anyone. I'm the one with 2 papilios that haven't bloomed in 5 years!

Boojun,I'm sure you know that there are two varieties of Papilio.One requires a rest period and one is evergreen.It helps to know which you have.
My papilios have selfed seed pods and I plan to plant many of them but will offer the extras here.I want to see how many slightly different ones will show up in a mass planting.

Nope, didn't know that but I've tried both a dormant period and none to no avail. Some years, I keep all the species going throughout the year.

Good morning!
You mean I am going to be dispointed with my Mr Hughs?

Maybe not.It is a beautiful flower but as boojum pointed out,it's not going to be your favorite.In my case I need to bring the obsession in line with available space so this fall,Red Lion,most of the Apple Blossoms,Minervas and Mr.Hughes are probably history.
Notice I said "most" of the apple blossoms.It's just too pretty to get rid of them all.
.

I think the species are my favs. So if you are tossing Mr. Hughes, you know you can toss it here. I am in love.

One more.

And the black red.

boojum I will tag Mr Hughes with your name.At fall lift time I will mail it.Remind me if I forget.That black red is a treasure.Truly beautiful.
picture is Emerald.I like the red edges

One more

Thanks, JT. Will do!
I love the dark one too.
Emerald is outstanding. But no bloom this year on mine. I'm enjoying yours though!

Last one of my Holiday Mini Amaryllis. Don't know the variety name.

Wow! That is so Orange!!
I think my dark red is definitely Benfica.
