Hippeastrum 'Neon'

Hippeastrum neon....
a splendid and gorgeous amaryllis which blooms faithfully each year and multiplies easily.it is one of the early bloomers.buds start forming in end of February and blooms start in last decade of march.
according to my experience it is sterile because all my efforts to pollinate it either as pollen donor or as mother failed each time.i tried because it has few good qualities like beautiful light pink color,healthy blooms more than 6 number of florets per stalk and long sturdy stalks.
here are few shots of beautiful NEON....
these photos are from 22-02-2018 first sign of flower buds emerging.
