This Amaryllis looks
especially striking against a backdrop of
leafy green foliage that accentuate the
brilliant red color.
The Peace Lilly, or
Spathiphyllum, would be a suitable
choice for this. Please lillies
are inexpensive and produce lush
foliage. This kind of display works
best against a wall, where the Amaryllis
blooms can be appreciated from at least
three sides. As the flowers tend to fade
in turn, you can rotate the plant so that
the least attractive, or fading, bloom is
nestled in the green foliage. This will
result in a attractive display over
several weeks.

Amaryllis Red Lion is
truly a classic. It is probably the most
popular Amaryllis for Christmas. One look
at the pictures will tell you why—the
huge luscious bloomers are a fire-engine
stopping
red!
Four, even five, blooms
are born on strong scapes(flowering
stems). This is an especially vigorous
hybrids that will produce up to three
scapes on mature
bulbs.
