Below: Amaryllis Alfresco, an opulent, almost
triple-flowered Amaryllis!

Right: Amaryllis Picotee is
an old
favourite, so named because of the red
picotee along the edges of the
bloom.

There is nothing as
pure and pristine as a white Amaryllis
flower. Irrespective of the variety,
every grower should have at least one
white in their
collection.
Even within the range
of whites, there is a variety of
flower shapes and sizes. Some are even
double-flowered. These "double
Amaryllis", as they are known, have
two sets of petals on each flower
creating a lovely opulent ruffled
bloom.
Most Amaryllis have a
greenish cast at the base of the petals
and this is seen to great effect in white
flowers.
