Isn't it fun to give somebody a plant with a bloom as big as your head? LOL

We brought a blooming 'Hercules' amaryllis to a friend of ours for Valentine's Day... it was a jumbo bulb and put up 2 sturdy stems that bloomed at the same time. Looked like it had another stem starting to emerge, also, so hopefully it bloomed some more for them. Thought I had a photo, but can't find it...

But here's a photo of Amaryllis 'Siren', the one I mentioned earlier that I think is pretty much a dead ringer for 'Princess'... I wonder if they're the same variety with 2 different names? I wouldn't wonder that about 2 red amaryllises, but there just aren't that many double varieties.
