Amaryllis (Hippeastrum) and Zygopetalum x flowering in the Greenhouse



All dressed up and nowhere to go. These plants normally go on display in the Administration Building, but since it's temporary out of commission..... Actually Brad works a few into the temporary building where our visitor services are housed. It's nice to see things flowering when we're tending our plants so I'm not complaining.

Nice to see the name "Hippeastrum" being used. I had never heard it before I went to Australia. Gardeners grow them outdoors in the soil in Brisbane (and elsewhere.) After seeing them only as potted plants at Christmas for so many years, I was amazed.
