Nursery contributed plant descriptions

One of the newer cultivar available through Israeli breeder, Amaryllis Moon Scene is a great example of that team's recent work; wide petaled varieties with distinctive markings, uniform blooms, large flowers and sturdy stems of medium length. This variety also offers plump, attractive buds that carry the deep red flower markings to the outside of the buds, for extra visual interest. Very nice.
