Today we’re catching up with Malgorzata Galietti.
About 30 years ago I bought a ‘Red Lion’ amaryllis. (Hipsterum ‘Red Lion’, zones 8-10 or as a houseplant) and sent it to my grandmother Helena, who lived in Krakow, Poland, to help it survive especially cold weather. He loved it! She herself was a gardener and horticulturist, so ‘Red Lion’ was much appreciated. At the time, it was impossible to find amaryllis bulbs in Poland. Fast forward to a gloomy winter of 2020; I remembered how much joy and happiness an amaryllis bulb brought to my grandmother, so I got ‘Pink Surprise’ to sprinkle some cheer during the epidemic winter blues.
This pink beauty began the annual cycle of flowering and watering. I brought the pots into the garden for the summer and went dormant in early fall with the hope that when they woke up they would gratefully produce flower stems.
My collection now includes the beautiful ‘Magic Touch’. . . ,
. . . ‘Sunshine Nymph’. . . ,
. . . Beautiful ‘White Denver’. . . ,
. . . Classic pink ‘Apple Blossom’. . ,
. . . And of course ‘Red Lion’, the variety that started it all.
