I got a few amaryllis bulbs last year, and when they bloomed, I pollinated them. It only worked on one flower, but I got a few seeds to sprout, so I'll have several more amaryllis bulbs in a few years.
The three I received didn't all bloom at the same time. One of them looked like that one on the right for a long time before it finally burst into bloom.
Judging by the buds, it looks like a type of lily. Looking at the flower though it looks just like the amaryllis. The picture I posted, the flowers are that size, but it budded differently.
I just took a pic of the ones in front because they look a little better than the others. Most of these just planted themselves where they are like weeds.
"To put it simply, the true Amaryllis is a bulb from South Africa with only one species in the genus (Amaryllis belladonna). By contrast, Hippeastrums* are from Central and South America with 90 species and over 600 cultivars in the genus – and these are the flowers commercially sold in the UK around Christmas.".[Voat Library Service]
Yes...yes you're right. I am experienced with the female of the species whereas you...you married your high school sweetheart and have only known one woman, in the biblical sense, in your life. Fair enough. Nothing wrong with that except one wouldn't get a deep understanding of what makes the creatures tick. You have a rosy view of the little petals based on your own sweet missus but it's not a big control group from which to draw inferences.
