Why do I get rid of the home colors. ⚜ As amaryllis constantly confused with Hippeastrum?
Hello! Once I wrote a short note from the flower of his modest life, in which he told how once threw 25 varieties of violets in the trash. Fact has caused an uproar in the comments, though some readers have understood me.
I am not ashamed that sometimes get rid of houseplants: I give, me and (oh Gods!) Is simply discarded. I love to grow flowers, but do not want to become a slave to them, and clutter up your space with endless strings of pots. Therefore, if I for some reason do not have a relationship with a potted plant, or it simply ceased to please me, I have no regrets I say goodbye to him.
I support the idea to look for "their" plants empirically.
This is what I am. Now I have already outlined, with some plants, it is likely to be parted in the spring. Be sure to tell you how it happened and what was then with flowers. And now I look after the new candidates for growing in the home.
Liked very pretty orchid Oncidium, but so far I do not venture to touch such exotica. While we understand with Phalenopsis... Possibly by the summer I decide to charming handsome man with small tropical flowers.
In the meantime, I wanted gippeastrum. Be sure to bright red. Once he was with me, and even successfully blossomed. So, with 4 large lilies in the long direction, and I gave it to my grandmother husband on March 8 a few years ago. For whatever reason - I do not remember.
Climbed into the internet to choose a nice variety. And suddenly I realized that I do not see the difference between the Hippeastrum and Amaryllis. Moreover, in some online stores under the names of plants, both written at the same time...
Amaryllis and Hippeastrum - different colors, though both sorts belong to the family Amaryllidaceae. Hence the growing confusion feet. 99% of what we see in the online store - it gippeastrum and its hybrids. Beautiful amaryllis presented us one view - Belladonna. Him only pink flowers and blooms it in the open field (Rarely - in the house). Here is a photo from the Internet:
I hope you have been interesting. Thank you for your attention, I'd be happy, "I like"!
