The name Amaryllis is originally derived from Greek mythology; more specifically from the love Amaryllis had for Alteo. Amaryllis, a maid, fell deeply in love with a shepherd boy Alteo. Strong and handsome with a passion for flowers, to learn how to win his affection Amaryllis went to the Oracle of Delphi for guidance and advice. On the Oracle’s orders, she stood at Alteo’s house for thirty nights piercing her heart with a golden arrow. On the thirtieth night, a beautiful star-shaped flower grew from her blood and helped her win Alteo’s love and affection.

The Winter Blush Amaryllis has soft pink flowers. This Amaryllis comes complete with a pot, bulb, and compost. This indoor growing plant contains 1 bulb.
