An Amaryllis in a Round Pot

The upright composition features one large amaryllis flower at the top of a tall, straight stem. Long, narrow leaves rise near the stem from a small round container resting on a flat ground line. Nothing else fills the background, so the flower, foliage, stem, and circular pot remain the complete scene.

Notable Facts About Amaryllis

The plant commonly sold as amaryllis is often a cultivated Hippeastrum, a close relative of true Amaryllis. It grows from a bulb that stores water and nutrients for new leaves and flowers. Its sturdy, hollow-looking flower stalk can appear before all of the strap-shaped leaves have fully developed.

Natural Colors of an Amaryllis Plant

  • Large petals: naturally red, pink, white, salmon, burgundy, or striped combinations
  • Flower throat: often pale green, white, or a lighter version of the petal color
  • Stamens and pollen: cream to yellow
  • Stem and slender leaves: light to deep green
  • Round pot: commonly terracotta orange, brown, cream, gray, or another manufactured color
Questions and answers

Questions and Answers

How can such a large flower grow from a bulb?
The bulb contains stored energy and layers of developing plant tissue. Under suitable conditions, it sends up roots, leaves, and a flowering stalk.
Is an amaryllis flower always red?
No. Cultivated varieties come in several colors, including white, pink, salmon, deep red, and striped or edged patterns.
Why are amaryllis leaves long and narrow?
Their strap-shaped leaves provide a broad green surface for photosynthesis without forming a wide canopy. The energy they make helps replenish the bulb after flowering.
