White Amaryllis bulb recalls 1920s Cleveland garden show
The writer recounts a white Amaryllis bulb gifted at Christmas recalling Alfred Hottes’s 1920s Public Auditorium talk in Cleveland. He notes Amaryllis names Hippeastrum, growth cycles, and care tips, and discusses Bluestone Perennials varieties, Japanese anemone Robustissima, Jersey Gern viola, Echinacea purpurea Bright Star, and White Luster plant prospects for a mixed border. He reflects on transplant caution and seasonal care.
