The genus name ‘Nerine’ refers to ‘Nereids’ – nymphs of Greek mythology – and Nerine bowdenii ‘Amandi’ is fittingly fairy-like in its delicacy and charm. With wavy, sugar-plum petals swept back like wings, the dancing blooms are an enchanting sight late in the season.
Perched on slender stems, the Nerine bowdenii ‘Amandi’ pretty pink flowers bring a lightness and freshness to the usual browns of an autumnal display. Ribbon-like foliage provides lush greenery and subtly fades just in time for the blooms to take the limelight.
Plant Nerine bulbs in a sunny position, and they will reward you with an increasingly prolific display year after year.
The striking Sprekelia ‘Formosissima’ is aptly named, derived from the Latin meaning ‘perfectly formed and beautiful’. Clad in velvety crimson, the large, showy blooms strike a dramatic pose. The three lower petals are partially fused together and the upper three are separated, with one upright tepal and two laterally outspread.
At the centre, elegant, elongated stamens are crowned by golden anthers. Otherwise known as the ‘Aztec Lily’, Sprekelia are native to Mexico and are part of the Amaryllis family.
With their fascinating form and brilliant colouring, these tender Sprekelia ‘Formosissima’ bulbs make eye-catching additions to summer patio containers, and to greenhouse and conservatory displays.
