    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    The first time we saw this green flowering amaryllis it was staged with evergreen boughs, artificial snow and silvery accents. Stunning. Cool, crisp and bright, with a hint of diamond dusting on the petals. Since then we've grown it and yes, Lemon Lime is lovely. Consider moving past the expected red amaryllis this season, and grow Lemon Lime.
