‘Kahlua’ is one of the smaller cut-flower cybister/spider type amaryllises that Royal Colors gamely offered aficionados this season. With its quiet cream and chestnut coloration, it probably wouldn’t sell in droves alongside its bolder brethren during the dull days of …
The quest to add the bold and richly shaded ‘Daphne’ to the site has not gone as had been hoped. Usually the newest cultivars to hit the market are usually available with correct labeling, but not this time out.
