Yes it is big, but a delicate colour I think you'd agree.

Mark,

I love the glittering on so many of the Nerine hybrids.  It certainly adds something, doesn't it.  I just love it each year when they start flowering here.

A question borne of sheer ignorance - is there any Amaryllis belladonna lineage in any of these hybrids?

I could be wrong but I think it's selections from the wild and then crossing the colours

Yes I'm wrong
"The breakthrough in breeding these plants came towards the end of the nineteenth century with the work of H. J. Elwes who found that through judicious breeding with other nerine species a much greater variety of colour was available. The distinguished bulb merchants Barr & Sons also raised many new hybrids, as did the Norris family at Welland and the Stephenson-Clarkes at Borde Hill."

H. J. Elwes = Galanthus elwesii?

I was given a white, from pink buds, Nerine today. Unfortunately I dont know if it is bowdenii or sarniensis. It doesnt have leaves so could be bowdenii

Mark,

It does have a bowdenii look to it, doesn't it!?  Very nice flower, whichever it is.  I don't think I've seen a white bowdenii before.  Other than the usual pinks, the only other one I know is 'Manina Forest Form' which is a bowdenii that is very tall and grows and flowers in shade quite happily unlike most of the Nerines.  It is a very pale pink flower.  I've had stems on it up to 1.2m tall.  I really can't recall seeing a white one.  Or my brain is just even fuzzier than usual!?  ;D
