Amaryllis Misty is not a
huge plant and the flowers are smaller
than standard Amaryllis. They can also
produce several flowering stems in one
season.

'Trumpet' Amaryllis are
so named for their trumpet shaped flowers
which are less flat and open than
standard varieties. In fact, they look
more like regular
lillies.
Shown below, is trumpet
Amaryllis 'Misty', which is one of
the few trumpet cultivars available. The
pale pinkish flowers have raspberry
striped that are apparent only when
viewed up close. otherwise, the flowers
appear to have a misty pink appearance
from a distance, hence the name. They are
also lightly fragrant! The flowers also
tend to hang down once opened. This is
apparent in the photo below-look at the
blooms in the background. For this
reason, it is suitable for display on a
higher table, such as a dining table,
where the elegant blooms can be much
admired.
