Double Delicious

It's Christmas and this present was a bulb with a few pointed blips beginning. 'Double Delicious' has now blossomed into an adult. Brilliant red, and not double as its name suggests, but in reality a triple blooming amaryllis.

Notice the multiple blooms on one stem, and the second, shorter stem coming along. Also, althrough these are beautiful abd plentiful, there are other buds along the top waiting to take the place as these die off.
