I gave this amaryllis to friends as Christmas gifts.

It was the star of the garden last May.

Most amaryllis flowers are big and showy, but this one stood out.

Its blooms are bigger than an outstretched hand. The stalks are around fourteen inches tall. The color is a watery, deep pink.

Okay I confess…it reminds me of watermelon.

Here I am on a dreary day in February, being reminded of yummy watermelon.

Surprise!
