"This light-hearted Amaryllis is a colour variant of the dark red Amaryllis Double Delicious. It is not uncommon for flower bulbs, such as tulips, hyacinths and daffodils to spontaneously change colour. But it is less common with the Amaryllis.
The advantage for the grower of finding a colour variant, or a variation as they call it, is that with a variation of a species you know exactly what you are dealing with. After all, all the characteristics regarding growth, flowering time and bulb quality are known from the mother plant. The only difference between mother and daughter is the colour. The grower knows exactly how to handle such varieties and this is a great advantage compared to a new hybrid that comes to his nursery as a seedling. After all, he no longer has to figure out how to best grow, store and propagate this variety.
Doublet's mother is Double Delicious, a beautiful red Amaryllis that has more than earned its spurs as a potted plant for the living room. Doublet behaves exactly the same, only its colours are more festive and frivolous. Maybe it's an idea to try them together."
Amaryllis
Unlike most of our flower bulbs, amaryllis bulbs are primarily for indoors. At room temperature in a vase or in a pot: that is when the amaryllis bulb comes into its own. And that is not the only thing that makes this beautiful flower bulb stand out. It is precisely in the winter that it provides some extra atmosphere with its exuberant colours. Because of the temperature in the living room, it seems like spring for the amaryllis and that is why it is not held back by the winter.
Planting Amaryllis:
You plant an amaryllis with the bottom half of the bulb in the soil. Use regular potting soil that is suitable for garden or houseplants. Also make sure you have a spacious pot so that there is enough space around the amaryllis bulb to water it. Do not fill the pot all the way to the edge with potting soil, so that the water cannot run out of the pot when watering.
You can also plant your amaryllis in a vase or glass pot, without soil. The amaryllis will then be forced to bloom on water. You will need a suitable glass vase for this, which will hold the amaryllis bulb firmly while the roots hang in the water. Make sure that the water just touches the bottom of the bulb, which will also stimulate new roots to emerge from the bulb.
