I am really enjoying have these bright flowers inside.

Thank you for showing us the different types. They do brighten things up a bit.

[@PrairiePlantgirl]

Yes they do

My garden store ran out of amaryllis bulbs at Xmas so I bought trios of hyacinth inside. They are coming up slowly. I planted one set in those leca clay balls. The theory is they give a good combo of water and air for the roots. It seems impossible to over-water as you simply douse with water until it runs out. I have had good luck with this method with my snake plant.

That sounds like a great set up.

Your red is Lion king not what you label indicated check it out 🙏👍

I keep saying I will invest in some, but I don't. I think it's because they need more care than I can provide.

[@PrairiePlantgirl]

They don’t need much if you just treat them as annuals and toss them after they bloom.

I don't think your red one is Minerva. Minerva is not all red.

[@PrairiePlantgirl]

Perhaps. Sometimes things get labelled wrong. There is some white on mine, but it doesn’t show up well on camera for me.
