description for "Amaryllis: Hippeastrum 'Unique'"
'Unique' is not just another pretty face, but has a beauty all its own. Feast your eyes on the luscious double blooms, dreamsicle-like dark-orange/red with creamy fillings. Each 6-inch-wide flower is a meal in itself, but with 4 flowers per stem, you get a full bouquet buffet. The two stems grow 16 inches tall. Grown ala carte or added to a stew of other amaryllis, this one-of-a-kind variety should be a regular feature on your menu of winter-forced flowering bulbs. -- edited by pbcouchman
