    This is a beautiful plant, tall and with large blooms. Its color is a soft white with no hint of any other color in it. In a grouping of Amaryllis, this one would be in the back because it is by far the tallest of any I've had. The bloom stalk appears first, and now after having produced numerous blooms on two stalks, the foliage is finally appearing.
