Amaryllis 'Flamenco Queen' was an exceptionally prolific bloomer for me this past year. I grow Amaryllis as a houseplant in the winter when nothing else is blooming. 'Flamenco Queen' bloomed early, grew rapidly, and bloomed repeatedly. It must have put out a good half a dozen blooming stalks before going dormant. The red-veined on white color of the bloom is attractive.

Huge, beautifully shaded blooms with picotee edge for extra distinction. You'll notice this one from across the room! Mine has put on good size from one year to the next with minimal summer care. (Bigger bulb = more bloom stalks)
