Amaryllis, what types do you grow?

Everyone share with all of us here at GH all about your amaryllis and the names of your lovely ones. Also share some pictures if you have some pictures to share.
Amarillyus, 'Baby Star': This amarillyus has 4 blooms open this morn on one stalk. So I just had to take another photo of it to share with you all here at GH. I ive in zone 8 but planted this in a pot during the winter. When it warms up I will transplant this baby in my flower garden.
Equus, President Johnson Sounds beautiful
I see lots of early red Amaryllis blooming everywhere, in fact they are already finished here in zone 8. From the street they seem to be partly double as I can see two layers in the bloom. I wonder if what I'm seeing is President Johnson? My only complaint with my Amaryllis is that they don't all bloom together, so that they make a good show. Appleblossom is already finished, and Red Lion has one large bud.

Amaryllis from seed
I am growing coral amaryllis from seeds I got in a trade late last year. I don't know how long to bloom from seed but I am patient enough to wait. The seedlings are doing great.

Amaryllis~ Apple Blossom 2007
This photo was taken during the summer of 2007. I'm in Zone 8, so all my Amaryllises are in the ground year round. The tops die back in winter, but come out again in spring. This places them in the perennial category. As of March 6, 2008 the tops are starting to leaf out. Time to go feed them too with some of the wonderful Bloom Booster fertilize from GardenHere.
