This native to Mexico, sometimes offered as Amaryllis formosissima, is reminiscent of a large (5″) red, velvet orchid atop a 8″-12″ stem. The petals of the flower are in 2 groups – the upper 3 stand up, curving back at the tips, while the lower 3 are pendent, rolling up like a tube at the base, encircling the stamens.
