How to identify Butterfly amaryllis (Hippeastrum papilio)
Butterfly amaryllis showcases remarkable blossoms, each approximately 6 inches (15 cm) wide, composed of three petals and sepals, collectively known as tepals. These floral components exhibit a pale cream hue, a chartreuse throat, and are intricately striped with maroon. The fleshy, strap-shaped leaves measure about 2 feet (60 cm) in length and the flowers are borne atop sturdy stems rising well above the foliage. After the flowering phase, butterfly amaryllis produces sizable seed pods. Slender, evergreen leaves persist in mild climates, ensuring continual greenery.
