Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Also called Lemon Butterfly in the UK. Evergreen is one of my personal favorites. It has such unique color, and up to 10 flowers per stem! The graceful and whispy Cybister Amaryllis were developed from species found in Bolivia and other South American countries. These truly unique flowers are only newly available. Large 26-28 cm bulbs can produce 1-3 flowering stems.
