Seasons greetings!! 🌲 🧑‍🎄
I am growing an amaryllis bulb for the first time. While looking for growing information, I discovered an article featuring amaryllis hybrids that are fragrant. Minerva is one mentioned along with others. So I looked up Am. Minerva in the database to see if it is labelled as fragrant. It doesn't say, so now I'm curious to find out more.
I see a lot of photos of Am. Minerva in the plant database. So I'm hoping that anyone who has this hybrid can give their flowers a good sniff and let us fragrance lovers know if it is slightly fragrant or notably so? Also what does the fragrance remind you of?
Other amaryllis hybrids that claim to be fragrant are Apple Blossom, Blossom Peacock and Jewel. For anyone growing these, (or any other hybrids), I'd like to hear from you regarding their fragrance, if any. Much appreciated!!

Never had Minevra, but have had several others including Apple Blossom, never have noticed any fragrance.
As Yogi Berra said, “It's tough to make predictions, especially about the future.”

I've had Minerva, and a couple others, also never notice fragrance.
Plant it and they will come.
