When the autumn and winter begin to set in, many of us gardeners retreat inside to tend our houseplants. One of the favourites for Christmas and the new year is of course the Amaryllis, more correctly know as Hippeastrums. I have written before about how to care for these statuesque flower bulbs, and I will include a link to this article at the bottom of the page. However I was astounded by these magnificent, giant double varieties I found at Dutch Grown and wanted to share them with my readers so that some of you can grow these beauties this year and outdo all the neighbours! Below are some of these wonderful new varieties.
