Meredith,
I recently changed to the photo with the mauve background, which will make it look a bit different than the black backgrounded photos on NL van Geest’s website. They also tend to underexpose a bit, oversaturate a bit, and use a warmer color balance. The shape and form seem spot on. ‘Tarantula’ has much thinner tepals and smaller flowers, as it is a more direct descendent of H. cybister. I attempted to purchase ‘Tarantula’ as a cutflower but they were unavailable late in the season. Hopefully I can add that one to the galleries next year!
Hi, Emaryllis,
This photo of ‘Wild Amazone’ looks very different from the photo by the same name at https://www.amaranth-amaryllis.com/en/midi-amaryllis/58-wild-amazone-amaryllis.html
Yours looks more like ‘tarantula’ at https://www.ende-flowers.nl/nl/assortiment/amaryllis
But I’m a complete tyro, so please correct me!
