Amaryllis Lily, White - Flowering Plants

Description

Amaryllis lily is popular for its trumpet-shaped flowers, it is a bulbous plant. It has several strap-shaped, hysteranthous, green leaves with midrib 30–50 cm long and 2–3 cm broad, arranged in two rows. They are produced in the autumn or early spring in warm climates depending on the onset of rain and eventually die down by late spring. The bulb is then dormant until late summer. The plant is not frost-tolerant, nor does it do well in tropical environments since they require a dry resting period between leaf growth and flower spike production.

Each bulb produces one or two leafless, stout, persistent, and erect stems 30–60 cm tall, each of which bears at the top a cluster of two to twelve funnel-shaped flowers without a tube. The usual color is white with crimson veins, but pink or purple also occur naturally. It has a common name "naked lady" which comes from the plant's pattern of flowering when the foliage has died down.
