Armorel's Hippeastrum unknown cultivar (nickname 'Pinky')
Hippeastrum

Well, ‘Pinky’ has just come into bloom on the Gallery windowsill and is looking fabulous. Last year she produced five flowers on one stem – this year there are SIX! Four are already open with two yet to expand. I suspect she’s going to need some scaffolding to keep her stem upright very soon because the weight of six open blooms is going to make it flop over.

Her daughters are growing well in the greenhouse but they’ve not shown any signs of flowerbuds. I expect they’ll need another growing season before they’re Big Girls and can be glorious like their mum ;-)
