    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    We'd love to say this amaryllis blooms in a deep, saturated purple . . .and that would be a fib. Instead, the flowers are soft pink to white with narrow stripes of deep pink with a hint of purple. Pronounced deep pink anthers stand out against the petal color. Purple Rain is on our "grow it!" list this season. Can't wait!
