Chico,
the most spidery of all the cybister Amaryllis.

Cybister Amaryllis are a group
of amaryllis derived from a south America
species. They are distinguished by their
spidery flowers and recurved petals. The
flowers are typically two toned in
color.
Many people have a hard
time believing that these exotic
beauties are Amaryllis! However,
they are not any more difficult to grow
to regular Amaryllis bulbs.
This group of amaryllis
tends to be smaller-sized, with
attractive bulbs no bigger than a small
orange. They are perfect for a sunny
windowsill.
Most of the hybrids in
this group have only been available since
the early 2000s, but several varieties
are now available for
purchase.
